Maybe you suffer from something I noticed, sometimes the master for MDIO gets out of sync. Try this patch and see if it helps, not sure if it still applies but that should be easy to fix up.
It applied cleanly with some line offsets, but didn't fix my problem. :-(

Defining the netmask didn't help either. Since it works the first time, including bootp with a full tftp load (lots of packets), it implies the network is fine but someone is shutting down the network (improperly?) after the ping/tftp/bootp command completes and not starting it up again on the next network command.
Thanks, gvb
