Re: RedBoot - Try initializing default ethernet first

...maybe the CDL option is a wise way to go. i.e. have an option which enables either "initialize all [ethernet devices], then try" vs. "init one, try, repeat until found"

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)?
