I now have a driver that initialises the 64120 and U-Boot sees the
bridge and Ethernet card. So far so good! But the Ethernet card can
not ping anything on my network.

This is what I see...

My guess is that there is probably still something I did not do in the
PCI init code, but I have looked at as many examples as I can find and
I can't see anything amiss. Any thoughts on what would case the buffer
not to work even though the Ethernet card itself is seen and appears
to be detected correctly?

Thanks again!
