u-boot Tulip DECchip support

First of all, Thank you very much for your help. I'm sorry I couldn't
see the Tulip support of u-boor at the first time.

Yes you are right I should have used the mailing list. Thank you for
your warning.

Hi,

I'm using a Sandpoint board with X3 (MPC8245) unity CPU
card. Sandpoint does not have an ethernet controller.And since I have a PCI DECchip 21x4x Ethernet controller I want to use it with sandpoint board. I'm able to use this ethernet card with my linux image, it works fine, but I couldn't add this to u-boot image. So I'm dowloading the linux image by using "loadb" or "loads" commands via serial channel and it tooks to much time. You can see my previous tryings below.

Is there anybody who has used this ethernet controller
with Sandpoint? Or do you have any suggestion for my problem.

Regards
yio

P.S:
Below, there are previous messages between I and
Wolfgang. Since I was not aware of using this list I have sent e-mails directly to Wolfgang. Thanks to him for his recommendations about the problem and warnings about using this list.

Maybe I was not clear enough. "CFG_CMD_NET" is not a #define you
should set yourself; you should make sure that "CFG_CMD_NET" is
included (i. e. used) in your definition of the CONFIG_COMMANDS
definition.

sorry, I'm afraid I cannot help. I don;t have any Tulip based network
card here, so I cannot test this myself. Please ask on the mailing
list.

You are wrong. The Tulip chip is supported. See

You could also use loadb which is much faster. But of course not as
fast as Ethernet :-)

The U-Boot page should have told you that the preferred communication
channel is through the u-0boot-users mailing list.
