From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: JobHunts02 at aol.com Date: Thu, 5 May 2005 20:25:02 EDT Subject: [U-Boot-Users] Passing IP address to kernel Message-ID: <110.49487932.2fac135e@aol.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: u-boot@lists.denx.de Should U-Boot be able to pass the board's IP address to the kernel? Immediately after logging in, I cannot ping. ifconfig shows the correct hardware address that was set in U-Boot, but not the IP address, which was similarly set in U-Boot. Also, many of the statistical fields have garbage data in them (see below). If I then set the IP address, ifconfig returns the IP address and the other fields are correct. Then, I can ping. Is this the expected behavior? Thank you.
