Serves me right for reposting a message without trying it out first. On the AW kernels, it looks like mac_addr is the kernel argument, not ethaddr:
mac_addr=00:06:dc:8b:41:a5
works for me. Note that both are mentioned here: http://linux-sunxi.org/UEnv.txt so I'm not surprised there's so much confusion, but a quick search through sunxi-gmac.c clearly shows mac_addr as the correct kernel argument.
Now, as for the MAC address printed on the bottom of your card? Looks like it's a correct and proper address. It's taken from the address range assigned to Syabas Tech for the Popcorn Hour, which I believe is TL Lim's previous company.
