[U-Boot] Enabling E1000 driver support for P1_P2 Boards

Hi all,
I have 2 questions.
1) I have a P1020RDB Board on which I am trying to configure by E1000 82574 PCI express Ethernet Card. I see support for 82571 but not for 82574.
I don't know how different these chips. Can I expect this PCI express Card to work with the e1000 driver in U-boot?
2) I saw it is enabled by default in P1_P2_RDB.h header file. I can see it while building the driver is being grabbed.
But, the real question is how do I configure this interface from u-boot command line?
Thanks Mukund

This card isn't supported by the driver

Its no different from any other ethernet device in u-boot.

So do you mean adding one "eth3addr" to ENV will do the job.
eth3addr = 00:04:9F:01:08:23
I help to support the patch for this chip to U-boot. It looks like most of the code is taken from Linux kernel. Can you provide any references?
Thanks, Mukund
