I made some more tests and found that the old 405enet driver wont halt forever like the old 440 and the latest 4xx driver does. The old 405enet only outputs "ENET Speed is 100 Mbps - FULL duplex connection" sleeps for a while and then resumes the transfer.
Observe that the problem only occurs when another computer send packets to u-boot or broadcasting on the network. If non of this occurs the transfer is always successful.
OK.
I enabled debug and got following output:
=> run setup miiphy_register: non unique device name 'ppc_4xx_eth0'

This is a problem recently added to the 4xx ethernet driver. I haven't found the time to fix it yet.

See above.
I assume, that you don't have CONFIG_NET_MULTI enabled right now. Correct? As a simple workaround for this problem, please enable CONFIG_NET_MULTI in your config file. And please let me know, if this helped.
