Following is different in my case (8260ADS board):
- Load address is 0x500000 (this may not be a problem)
- ethaddr is 00:11:22:33:44:55 (this prevented tftp in my case
   with similar symptoms as you describe if I used
   a1:b2:c3:d4:e5:c6, and I dont know why, and could

First octet must be an even number, i.e. a0:b2:c3:d4:e5:c6 should be o.k.
The last bit in the first octet is the multicast bit.
The first bit in the first octet is the I/G address bit (Individual /Group) and
signifies if the OUI (first half of the MAC address) is universal (set to 0) or local (set to 1).
The second bit in the first octet must be set to 0.

I believe this has been addressed before on this list.

K.D.
