[U-Boot-Users] bootp

[ppc user]

A bit more info --
it looks like the correct file name is sent in the dhcp request,
but then u-boot switches to tftp mode with the incorrect file name in 
the request.
I have placed the capture file here:
http://www.lambdaaccess.com/u-boot.libpcap

thanks again for your help.
