NACK the net need to be init only when you use it
The kernel will try to use the already (temporally) programmed MAC address. I always init it because that way no kernel hack for the MAC address is required. Is it ok if I add a comment?
no sorry this will be also nack by Wolfgang to program the mac you need to create a initramfs in your kernel wich generate the same thing or read the content of the U-Boot env via fw_printenv and use ifconfig hw ether
ok, I think this will break nfsroot. I don't think it's possible to init ethernet with a initramfs before mounting the rootfs.
pivot root is your friend and generate the mac address at the openof the device in the kernel
There are several boards doing the same because of nfsroot:
I known but it's not allow anyway
Is there any command to call eth_init() in a script?
if you download the uImage from the net it work but the best will be to handle this in a initramfs
