[U-Boot-Users] ethact, ethprim and NET_MULTI

Greetings,

I am trying to bring up a system with two ethernet interfaces, and don't seem to be able to understand the intended behavior of the multiinterface system.

Say when one tries pinging over an interface which is down, u-boot starts browsing over registered ethernet interfaces, making the next one in the list active and so on. So, after the ping attempt the current interface value could change.

Is this really what is required - changing the active interface with the user unaware of it?

What are the semantics of the environment variables "ethprim" and "ethact"?.I tried to look through the documentation, and found nothing.

Any help would be highly appreciated,

Regards, /vb
