Your question has nothing to do with embedded linux and is thus off topic on this list. Please post U-Boot related quuestions to the u-boot-users mailing list instead. Yes, U-Boot can use PCI based network cards if there is (1) PCI support for your board and (2) an U-Boot ethernet driver for the network card > specifically I am wondering how hard it would be to boot from an Intel e1000 > ethernet controller rather than the on-chip ethernet on my Ebony board. It's not hard at all. An e1000 driver has been ported to U-Boot. > Has anyone had experience with this, or can point me in the right direction > on where to look to write some simple drivers to support transfers from the > e1000 card, that would be great. See the drivers/ directory in the U-Boot source code.
