	For 8xx you could / should use the kernel.org tree. We don't use
2.6
	on 8xx yet.

I will try that.

	You should fix this.

OK.

	You use an illegal MAC address; please read the FAQ, especially
	http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/EthernetDoesNotWork  and

The ethernet address is ok. not mine, but legal ;-) I checked at
standards.ieee.org:
				 
00-01-02   (hex)		3COM CORPORATION
000102     (base 16)		3COM CORPORATION
				5400 Bayfront Plaza  - MS: 4220
				Santa Clara CA 95052
				UNITED STATES

Thanks for your time,
