Thanks for the quick reply.

It's fine if I get the SMSC chip happy, I just mention the CS8900A 
because it is there are the docs only talk about "ethernet" so I expect 
conflict.

So what was your setup when Ethernet worked OK...

  - the Samsung U-Boot fork that came with the SMDK?

  - magic address 0x18000000 OK

  - 60+ minidip config was what?

I'm guessing 0x18000000 is on a particular nCS signal that needs 
configuring (should that really not be the business of the machine 
definition file?) and the mini DIPs setting to match.
