The Beagleboard-xM has a LAN9514 USB hub and ethernet controller, connected to port 2 of the OMAP EHCI controller. The board however has no EEPROM to store the ethernet MAC address, which is programmed by the boot loader. To allow Linux to use the same MAC address as the boot loader (or for that matter any fixed MAC address), we need a node in the device tree for the ethernet controller that the boot loader can update at runtime with a local-mac-address property. Add it, along with an alias for the ethernet controller to let the boot loader locate it easily.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
