Hi Jonathan,

I have a IXP425 (IXDPG425 dev board) running u-boot [yay!] but I get the message 'No Ethernet Found' in the start up sequence. I would like to get ethernet working but I have been unable to find out what I should do so it happens.
When I used a pristine copy of u-boot, it wouldn't build for this target (couldn't make .depend in the cpu/ixp/npe directory or something similar). Since I had been building (snapgear) Linux using the Intel Open Access Library I copied IxNpeMicrocode.c from IPL_ixp400NpeLibrary-2_0.zip [ie version 2.0 of the NPE Library] into the cpu/ixp/npe directory. Admittedly this was just a guess as to what to do. U-boot now builds OK for this target, and I now have it running, but without ethernet.
Is there some doco somewhere that explains what to do next, or does someone have some insights to offer?
Did you set the "ethaddr" environment variable? If not, please do and reset the board after saving it. Could be that the driver only enables the interfaces when ethXaddr is set.
Best regards, Stefan
