[linux-dvb] WinTV DVB-s MAC addr on EEPROM

["Michael Glaum" <mglaum@kvh.com>]

Question for the Hauppauge WinTV DVB-S gurus.

At least with version linuxtv-dvb-1.0.0-pre2 when I add a
network interface via dvbnet the MAC address is not populated.
net_start.pl makes a call to set the hw ether addr, versus
reading it off the card.

That being said, I notice that the card has an ATMEL AT24C16N
serial EEPROM. I guess it would be a huge coincidence if this
EEPROM has hanging off the I2C bus and that I could grab the
MAC address via stv0299_readreg(), an existing routine for the
frontend chip on this board. If so, maybe someone would even
know the address location of the MAC? I haven't been able to
get through to Hauppauge on this EEPROM.
