This is to be expected - the board config file  explicitely  disables
the CFG_CMD_NET option.

Enable the CFG_CMD_NET in your definition of CONFIG_COMMANDS. But  be
prepared  that  there  might be a reason for this option to be turned
off - like missing driver support or so.

You can download your image as .srec (using the loads command) or  as
binary  file  (using  the  loadb command) as you like - on the target
boith images will be identical; it's just that the S-Record  download
is much slower.
