OK, here is what I have picked up reading, reading, and more reading:

1. When the system is powered on "At this point, the LAN
controller is in the D0u state"

2. The "Platform LAN Connect component" is actually a command script
(probibly a rom written in assembly) runs and sets up the CSR register
(I could setup a script in the mainboard directory and run from auto.c).

3. At this point it goes into a DOa state.

3. The "Platform LAN Connect component" hands it over to the bios
(coreboot) to setup "Memory, or I/O Base Registers in the PCI
Configuration space"

4. nic is setup and ready to go!

What do you think?
