1) I have tried setting up the MAC address.  However that does not fix 
the problem.  Output:

SMC91111:  PHY auto-negotiate timed out

Warning:  MAC addresses don't match:
          HW MAC address: 01:00:01:00:00:00
          "ethaddr" value: 00:05:1B:00:10:4A
Using MAC Address 00:05:1B:00:10:4A
ping failed: host 192.168.168.157 is not alive

I have given the board a static IP address in order to bypass DHCP.
Something is funky with the PHY layer because I do not see the link 
lights so I am not surprised no traffic is traversing the wireline.  It 
looks as if the chip is still in reset.

2) I did download u-boot 1.1.4 but the compilation failed with my 
arm-linux-gcc 3.4.2 (linked w/ uclibc) compiler.  Output:
