[U-Boot-Users] ARP Retries

[Raghu]

Dear All,

I am observig this on u-boot 0.3.0 I have a the
following setup

MPC8245 based board with Intel 82559ER ethernet
controller.

I am using the "tftpload" command to load a file from
the tftpserver. But if I type a wrong filename its
reports a TFTP_ERROR as "File not Found". 

And for the very next "tftpload" command with a
correct file name it make ARP broadcast and loads the
file only after the 5 th retry. 

I am attaching the sequence of comands I am running. 
Is this a feature or a bug :-) ??
