Re: RedBoot - Try initializing default ethernet first

I'm not hugely keen on the idea of CDL options for every little thing.
Wouldn't a better solution be split the ethernet initialization into two
parts? A register function (which can provide defaults for fconfig
etc.) and a start (which actually starts the device)?
