I'm sorry for another continuation away from original patch discussion. If actually not all network properties are really that harmful could you please comment on others as well - this will save a number of iterations on clean-up submission. CONFIG_ETHADDR & CONFIG_IPADDR - it's simple - we don't want to have duplicates of the same MAC or/and IP address within one network. So definitely these ones must go away. But others doesn't affect other devices in the network so why don't we leave them as well? -Alexey _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list [email protected] http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
