I understand where you're coming from, but having the CONFIG option in 
the board's header file indicates that this board probably has a LAN 
chip.  Without board_eth_init() support, the CONFIG option is 
pointless.  I'd prefer to add full support, then if the user doesn't 
want it they can #undef in the header.

If you don't have time to do this, I can take care of it.
