Francois, you are right, but IMHO there is no problem with reading of MAC from
EEPROM (see log... "MAC address found...") but there is a problem with assignment
of this MAC.
Interesting is that Tim's eth0 and eth1 are affected but eth2 is working well
thought all of them have the same XID. Maybe some delay after leaving of programming
mode could help.
