Very cool Robert, I suspected as much which is why I asked( ipaddr -> client_ip ), I'll have to give that a thorough look see at a latter time, but just gave it a glance. I think I get the gist.
One thing I have been wondering about for a while, is if it is possible to TFTP/NFS boot over g_ether. I remember reading some uEnv.txt files from apparently older beagle hardware and I think it is possible, but have not attempted passed trying once or twice. It seems we could "usb start", and then I'd have to read some of that older stuff to remember the rest of it, but . . . yeah unless it's been patched out. Which wouldn't make sense to me, but I suppose it is possible. So I guess what I am asking here is if it is possible. IF so, I have no problem experimenting on my own to get it working.
