[hpsdr] OzyII status update

"...In order to use this initial software it will be necessary to 
program the MAC address of the PC you intend to use with OzyII into the 
board. We will provide a Flash memory chip on the PCB that will be 
programmed with the boards MAC address during manfacture..."

Phil,

Sounds like you are indeed making great progress on this.  Please excuse 
my ignorance but the terms 'initial' and 'during manufacture' sound 
mutually exclusive :)

Some questions:

1) How 'permanent' will this 'initial' software be?
2) Possible to change the address later [with/without eprom flashing 
hardware]?
3) What if the ethernet connection is via a switch/hub/whatever, not 
direct to the PC's ethernet card?

If this is just a temporary arrangement during development then that's 
not a problem but I would think this would be inconvenient for the long 
term due to likely change of PC and/or ethernet card.
