Seems they installed an old version of U-Boot.

This means you did not set up your environment and used "saveenv" to
store it. This also means that your MAC address is undefined.

You forgot to set the MAC address...
Please set the "ethaddr" environment variable to define a valid MAC
address, then use "saveenv" to save it to flash, and then reset the
board...
BTW: this is off topic here. You should have posted on the
U-Boot-Users mailing list instead.
