I have a Walnut board that I've been working with for sometime. I got it
working fine with Linux, but the networking seems to be fragile. For
instance, I switch from a Ethernet switch to a hub and now the board won't
boot over the network. Also, it has never been able to use DHCP. What are
teh reasons for this fragility? If I design the 405GP into my product, will
it have the same problems or is this strictly a Walnut related issue?

The Walnut requires DHCP 2 with patch level 5. You should be fine using
linux

I had to make a static arp entry in the server to make it work but that was
the prom code not linux that was the problem.
