Perhaps someone can shed some light on this. I'm using a version of
u-boot from Dec from CVS which calls itself 1.0.1 and Linux 2.4.21
(with patches to allow it to compile) on an AT91RM9200DK board.
Most people won't notice this, because they'll be booting from tftp.
However, in this instance, I have a ramdisk and kernel in flash. If
u-boot doesn't prod the ethernet (e.g. by tftping a random file), then
it turns out that the ethernet doesn't work from within Linux. I'm
afraid I'm not able to shed any further light on why it doesn't, but
perhaps someone else can.
