 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.

Popcorn Hour player still doing well, still CURRENT company, not "PREVIOUS" company :-)
