Hi everyone,

We are tring to get the ethernet working on our board. Here is what we have been trying. Our DHCP server gives addresses in the range of 10.0.1.x

Our vendor has documented that our MAC address is 00:08:EE:00:41:60 and LogicLoader (the default bootloader) would get an IP with this MAC address. It's interesting to see that U-Boot with the patches thinks that the HW Addr is 04:04:04:33:04:04

Any ideas, experiences?

I believe this is related to the new card version problem I mentioned in previous post.

Let me know what version you have and if the workaround I posted fixes these problems for you.

I won't have access to my board till tomorrow. I can post a patch then if this is the problem your having.
