1. I have tried setting up the MAC address. However that does not fix

Where is this MAC address coming from? You are aware that this is an address which will NOT work?

      "ethaddr" value: 00:05:1B:00:10:4A

Using MAC Address 00:05:1B:00:10:4A ping failed: host 192.168.168.157 is not alive

Did you see any packets on the wire?

I have given the board a static IP address in order to bypass DHCP.

And which one was this?

Something is funky with the PHY layer because I do not see the link lights so I am not surprised no traffic is traversing the wireline. It looks as if the chip is still in reset.

Given the fact that your hardware MAC address is illegal (has the multicast bit set) you should not be surprised. I'm not sure what your hardware does in such a situation.

I recommend to fix your MAC addresses first.

2. I did download u-boot 1.1.4 but the compilation failed with my

arm-linux-gcc 3.4.2 (linked w/ uclibc) compiler. Output:

Patches have been posted on the list; see the archives.
