Dear Marek,

Using SMC91111-0 device

File transfer via NFS from server 10.100.144.245; our IP address is 10.100.144.90

Filename '/var/lib/tftpboot/zImage'.

Install a proper NFS server - test that you can access the NFS area from
a "regular" Linux PC and fix the problems.  Then try again with U-Boot.

ALso a packet-sniffer like Wireshark can help in diagnosing such
problems.

Cheers
