if you could send the tcpdump output that would help.. dont worry about the
'device lo is down' message, it wont effect any of your ethernet work.. i
think you will need to modify the board info struct, and get the proper mac
address from it.. maybe what is happening is you are configuring linux to use
a mac address different than the actual hardware setting??

also, have you set the io pins correctly?? the stb chip needs a lot of gpio
setting up to work properly.. you also need to configure the xilinx fpga's to
select input from the ethernet mac, etc..

cheers,

ben
