[U-Boot-Users] U-boot and IXP425 NPE

I'm porting u-boot to a Moxa UC7420 box :-) As it is not yet working,
it's fine to hear it should. For now the microcode seems to be uploaded
(tried 2.3 and 2.4 version), the NET LED starts flickering, but U-Boot
say something about NPE-B upload failed and no eth device found. Could
the patch in the queue fix this problem? If it does, I'd like to test
this patch, before I start to investigate the problem myself...

I used the pdnb3 board as a template, and just copied the MII defines
from there. Everthing compiles just fine. I asked myself, if the PHY
addresses need to be adapted for each board?
