[U-Boot-Users] PATCH cmd_net.c check ethernet availability

24 Oct 2005


      We have a board where the ethernet is on a plugin module and may or
may not be present at boot time.  If eth_initialize() doesn't detect the network
and a net command is run the system crashes.  This patch adds a function
to cmd_net.c to check the availability of the ethernet device before trying to
access it.  If the net device is not found it will print a message
and return -1.
* Add check to cmd_net functions to make sure ethernet device is valid
before calling Net_Loop()
