I've given up on the Freescale driver as its obviously broken and gone 
back to the intermediate one (not the 8xx_io one!!) so I have a network 
connection now (on eth0).

No filesystem yet as I've yet to write a platform support map for the 
flash, initrd (ramfs) fails with an oops and root nfs fails as well even 
though it manages the mount, it says it can't find an init (same fs on 
2.4 is fine!!).

My head hurts...
