Yes, because you seem to get stuck with the fixed MAC addresses even
though I mentioned that they are for test, please ignore them. Problem
is that default environment is not setup correctly. Only bootargs is
set. No bootcmd, netmask, ipaddr, serverip is set. Should they be
defined differently in configuration file than what they are defined in
version 1.1.2 in order to get them to default environment? And by
default environment I mean the environment you get when the environment
sector has invalid CRC (for example sector is empty).

The network started working. I removed my test code and set the ethaddr
and eth1addr and both interfaces were found by U-boot.

One thing though. Not so much related to ixp425 - platform. When I erase
memory, I get dot printed to screen after every sector. When I copy
something to flash I get nothing. It seems as U-boot got stuck after
that command but after a while command is finished. Is there a way to
get some indication that something is happening?
