What do you mean with that?

ok, I think this will break nfsroot.
I don't think it's possible to init ethernet with a initramfs before
mounting the rootfs.

There are several boards doing the same because of nfsroot:

board/ronetix/pm9261/pm9261.c
board/ronetix/pm9263/pm9263.c
board/afeb9260/afeb9260.c
board/atmel/at91cap9adk/at91cap9adk.c
board/atmel/at91sam9260ek/at91sam9260ek.c
board/atmel/at91sam9261ek/at91sam9261ek.c
board/atmel/at91sam9263ek/at91sam9263ek.c
board/atmel/at91sam9m10g45ek/at91sam9m10g45ek.c

Is there any command to call eth_init() in a script?
