eth_receive is (intentionally) not an exported interface for standalone applications. > Is this a dummy problem? Or something else? It's policy. Keep in mind that standalone applications allow youto create proprietary code. We accept that this is sometimes needed or evenuseful, so we provide a mechanism for it, on the other hand we strongly discourage closed source software, so we intentionally provide not too much of the U-Boot features to such code. If you write Free Software, then just link it with the U-Boot image (and distribut eit under GPL). If you write proprietary software, then please implement your own, proprietary network drivers and network stack as well.
