Please set using ifconfig Did you read that hint? ifconfig (8) lives on your NFS root you so you have serious problem ;-) You can either use initrd as workaround or preferably set MAC address corectly. Assuming you are using U-boot: http://www.denx.de/wiki/bin/view/DULG/EthernetDoesNotWorkInLinux You can also look at U-Boot source code: board/voiceblue/eeprom.c Best regards, ladis
