Hi Ian, I've applied it to the sysutils/u-boot-rpi port and test the package with the RPI-B. The configured usbethaddr is set in the u-boot environment, but it will not passed to the kernel via the FTD blob. The FreeBSD kernel always have the BIA of the NIC. But I think, you are right, the RPis FTD data is available before the u-boot enviroment is set. So unfortunately that doesn't work a the moment.
