Hi again! I build only rootfs with Buildroot using the toolchain for 
building the Kernel in early stage. But the Ethernet have some problems. 
Find the PHY correctly but can't make ping.

So my suggestion to fix the problem is to build the Kernel and the 
rootfs together in Buildroot. Shall this thing correct the problem?

Also want to ask because I was impossible to configure the Buildroot 
using Kernel sources from my computer. Is it possible and how? If it's 
impossible I can deliver the sources via internet but they are not in 
Git repository, is that problem?

Thanks in advance!
Martin
