Hi everybody!

My board use chip at91rm9200 ( my board as same as ARM9 SBC board
http://www.ime.usp.br/~fr/sbc/ )
, and I use u-boot as a boot loader for my system.
I built linux image 2.6 ( 2.6.16, 2.6.17, 2.6.18 ) with patch from
http://maxim.org.za/AT91RM9200/2.6/ and a small root filesystem and use
u-boot to load them.
Everything is ok. My system had a sh shell.

But really, it can't connect to outside. ping localhost and it's ip address
are ok, but ping a host in LAN ==> false!
- Network configuration is Ok.
- Network card is OK. In u-boot env, i use tftp to load kernel image and
ramdisk image ==> network card is ok
- In kernel with patched, i think kernel image had driver for network card (
eth0: Intel LXT971A PHY ).

Can you give me some suggestion.
Thanks!!!
