For this you will need ethernet support in U-Boot. There are two (?)
options to achieve this: Add support for USB ethernet dongle in U-Boot
or use a Beagle expansion card with ethernet.
Regarding USB ethernet dongle, there are some basic USB patches for
Beagle U-Boot on the list. But I'm not sure how much work it is to
enable them to support USB ethernet.
For ethernet on expansion board, there is TinCanTool's Zippy board
[1]. To access ethernet on this board from U-Boot, an U-Boot OMAP3 SPI
driver is missing.
Both options are not ready, yet, and need some development work. Any
help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Dirk
Btw.: I added U-Boot list, it is the better place to discuss this.
