[U-Boot-Users] ethernet problems on the 5282 - Retry count exceeded

[Wolfgang Elsner <wolfgang.elsner@sentec-elektronik.de>]

Hello,
I have ported u-boot to our MCF5282 based board COBRA5282
with support for ethernet.
Sadly, I didn't send the patch to the u-boot project.
But if you would like to have the source code I could send it.

Regards,
Wolfgang
