Yes it is sufficient. I have actually quite recently made a U-Boot  
port to the Cobra5329-board, working with flash, serial and ethernet  
network.. The whole package is not quite in a submittable state right  
now, but I will do it as soon as I find the time.

I could assemble a patch with the ethernet stuff pretty soon.
