What Ethernet station address is reported by 'ifconfig' ?

It's helpful to provide the rest of the detection message.
I see from the 'mii-diag' output that you are using an ADMtek
transceiver, thus you must have a v4.1 card.

Please try the following change around line 710
	} else if (chip_idx == COMET) {
		/* No need to read the EEPROM. */
-		put_unaligned(inl(ioaddr + 0xA4), (u32 *)dev->dev_addr);
-		put_unaligned(inl(ioaddr + 0xA8), (u16 *)(dev->dev_addr + 4));
+		put_unaligned(le32_to_cpu(inl(ioaddr + 0xA4)),
				(u32 *)dev->dev_addr);
		put_unaligned(le16_to_cpu(inl(ioaddr + 0xA8)),
				(u16 *)(dev->dev_addr + 4));
		for (i = 0; i < 6; i ++)
			sum += dev->dev_addr[i];

Grrrr, someone should fix the PPC library -- diagnostics used to work.
I don't have a PPC here to fix it myself.
