[U-Boot-Users] eth0 not geting enabled

Hi there
I am working on at91sam9260ek. I have put kernel and rfs on dataflash. Now this board boots up but doesn't enable eth0. I searched net and found that if I do a ping it enables phy (MD9161A). But if I do that when there is no network u-boot never recovers. Can someone tell me the way out. It is successful when network is available, though.
Thanks Avinash

What do you mean by 'u-boot never recovers'? It should time out if you try a network operation and are not connected to anything useful.

Are you using a old (really old) u-boot. This behaviour was observed on u-boot 1.1.2, but when we upgraded to 1.2.0 and above, ping used to timeout.
