u-boot ethernet not working

Hi Bin,

> although my first try to ping the board from outside failed

u-boot will not respond to a PING. Some people call this a limitation, others call it

a security feature ;-)

The best way to play with the networking features is to try the following:

1. Setup a tftp server and try the tftpboot command.

2. Setup an NFS drive and download from the drive.

You might also want to try to get net console working -- I've never actually tried this.

This is a _very_ friendly forum -- and people always seem willing to share.

I'll make a post once the Nios II git repository is setup. I may be several weeks though.

Regards,
