Public bug reported:
with the recent uboot 2009.08 with freescale patches applied the FEC NIC
doesnt get properly initialized under the running system this results
in:
SIOCSIFFLAGS Cannot assign requested address
when running ifconfig eth0 up.
the NIC reportse a hardware address of 00:00:00:00:00:00
trying to initialize the NIC manually at the uboot prompt with setenv ethaddr
(using the address printed on the label on the board) does not change the
situation.
the file mxc_fec.c in the uboot code also seems to have many inconsistencies
and some errors that show up during build.
