Yes, I set the ipaddr variable and tried to do a ping. U-Boot reported the PHY autonegotiation succeeding but reported the remote host as down, and the PC logged the autonegotiation error. Oddly enough, I tried a different PC (with a different NIC) and it worked there. But I'm reluctant to blame the NIC on the first machine, since it worked fine once Linux was running on the PowerPC.
