[U-Boot-Users] IXP425 ethernet & NPE microcode

[Jonathan Pratt]

Hi Wolfgang.

Is there another way of providing ethernet support for this platform
without the license violation? Are there any legal ramifications that
follow? (Are they more likely to come from Intel or elsewhere?)

It seems that u-boot wouldn't build until I added the file (I suppose
that I could have tried disabling ethernet)...
