Check the clocks on the phy and the ethernet controller - sounds like it 
never gets to transmit at all.

Although there is no 'ping' receptor (server) in U-Boot, the ping 
command (client end) can be configured in and can be used to ping an IP 
address (note: no DNS!!). That should indicate if there is a fundamental 
problem.
