[coreboot] NIC working, IP assigned but not connected.

[Knut Kujat]

Hi,

I already managed to get IRQs assigned for my two NICs. As happy as I
was about that I asked for a IP to test if the board works correctly so
I booted with coreboot into my suse 11.2 made a ifconfig and saw that
i've got a valid IP, Mask everthing set up fine through DHCP. But I'm
unable to connect to whatever I can't do pings, navigation just nothing.
I of course did pings with ip addresses to see if it maybe only a DNS
issue but its not, the weird part is that the DNS servers get well
configured by the DHCP server.

I did test with the factory BIOS and I get the exact same network
configuration and it actually works.

The only difference I could see are shown below:

_Factory BIOS:

    lo       
    lo        IP address: 127.0.0.1/8

I already added the network option rom obtained from the original BIOS
rom to the Coreboot rom but no changes.

Please find attached the whole coreboot log for more info.

I have no idea what possibly could be wrong so I'm open and grateful for
every comment.

THX in advanced,
