I have tried placing the file in the path which looks relevant to the Linux version running on the board but cant really locate the buildfile. Can you please point to where you found the buildfile in your setup?

Do you know which branch/git tag of angstrom this worked with for you? I am the angstrom branch 'angstrom-v2013.06-yocto1.4' and I cant find the file smsc95xx.c to apply the patch on. Great solution.

I tried your solution but that didn't work for me. I fixed it with udev inspired by http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3133. I added /etc/udev/rules.d/99-mac-address.rules with the following content: SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="eth0", RUN+="/bin/ip link set dev %k address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" RUN+="/etc/init.d/networking restart" Hi,
