I have no idea what you are talking about.

U-Boot-201009 is not an official version, nor is there any such file
on the FTP server.

Assuming you mean trhe releas tag "v2010.09" ...

...then this code is > 3 years old, so it is hopelessly obsolete and
not worth any discussion.

Stay within U-Boot means to compile and link your code to be part of
the U-Boot binary, instead of an external standalone application.
Asintegral part of U-Boot you have access to all capabilities of
U-Boot.  As a standalone app, you are limited to the exported
interface.

You are not supposed to do network stuff in standalone code.  We do
not export the interfaces to do that.  If you need networking, then
either compile your code into U-Boot, or write your own network
drivers.
