I just pulled the net repo and I see the problem:
You forgot to apply patch number 5 of my series of 6...
The one that modifies the eth_rx routine. (The patch of which it was
all about ;-))

When patch 5 is applied, the 'fix problem on the trizeps board DM9000
error: status check fail: 0x6d' patch will also apply.

Kind Regards,

Remy
