The AX88179 uses an external flash to store the MAC address. So for my 
application I do not want the user to be able to change it, since it is 
a unique ID inside the server cluster.
I could add it as compiler option. Maybe it is even better to implement 
my behavior as option, since it differs from standard.
I think it will be finished mid of january, so if it is OK for you in a 
separate patch.
