[wang cheng]

dear all,
    When I follow the steps to port u-boot to my board according to 
README  ,error appeared in "make".

   I didn't change anything about net ,but there are many "undefined 
reference"error in net.c ,displayed as below: why??

The errors appear because the functions are not defined - but I guess
you know that.  So why not share some more information about what kind
of board you are compiling for (like the configuration name) so we can
actually try to reproduce the problem and help you in a more
meaningful way?

Cheers
