Permanently changing eth0 MAC-address

[Rafael Hernández]

Hello,
The last units I am receiving from Multi-Tech come all configured with the same MAC address (00:08:00:87:00:02). Which promotes a big caos in my network when two or more of them are online at the same time. I know how to temporarily solve the issue:

/etc/init.d/networking stop
ip link set eth0 address 00:08:00:87:97:51
/etc/init.d/networking start

Is there a way to make it permanent?

MultiTech support has given me the solution:
u-boot setenv ethaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
