If you enable it, it should work. But only few  boards  actually  use
this feature in their default configuration.

Run a sniffer (ethereal) on your network and check  if  you  see  any
packets  at  all.  You  *did*  switch  the stdin / stdout channels in
U-Boot, didn't you?

Yes, it is being used actively on a couple of boards, some of them in
production with high volumes.
