Replace EEPROM chip with MAC-integrated one

[JHSaw]

Hello,

it would be really nice to have a unique MAC for the Olinuxino devices.
Perhaps you can consider using one of these http://www.microchip.com/ParamChartSearch/chart.aspx?branchID=7044&mid=&lang=en instead of the Atmel chips.

Thanks!

Quite a few (all?) already have a unique serial number you could use.

In newer images the U-Boot generates a random mac address which is in most cases unique, but no official IEEE Mac address.

The eeproms mentioned above contain official IEEE mac addresses, so there is a slight difference here, especially if you want to use the boards in a professional environment.
