[U-Boot-Users] Re: PCI, Ethernet, IXDP425

[Ara Avanesyan <araav@hylink.am>]

Sorry for being so rude. I shouldn't write like that, i just got somewhat 
uncomfortable when I asked a help for doing something and you said "just do

(I spent all my day reinventing the wheel). I'm now going to try it out.
I really hope it will work.

Hey, thanks!
