Hi Dan,

I was surprised to find that UBOOT did not complain of a duplicate IP address while trying to boot via the network.  Looking through the source I cannot see any code to perform the typical ARP for yourself check that I have seen before.  Could someone please tell me if I have overlooked something or is this feature missing?

There is no explicit check for duplicate IP assignment. U-boot's 
networking code is intentionally minimalist and thus lacks many such 
features. Feel free to provide a patch and a convincing argument of why 
it's needed.

regards,
Ben
