After running ppcboot on our board successfully (including the fast
ethernet LXT972), we have trouble on enabling FEC on linux kernel. The
problem is that we cannot send any packets through the network after the
kernel is booted. The ethernet looks OK during initialization according
to the printed messages. We are trying to locate the problem but haven't
found yet so far. Any hints on what caused such problem?
...
eth0: config: auto-negotiation on, 100FDX, 100HDX, 10FDX, 10HDX.
IP-Config: Incomplete network configuration information.
You are passing bad/insufficient boot arguments to the Linux kernel;
unfortunaltely you don;t show us this part of the boot messages, so I
cannot even guess what you're doing wrong.

Well, if IP-Config is not complete, we can change the configuration
using 'ifconfig' after the kernel starts. I did that. And I noticed that
'eth0' can receive packets but cannot transmit any packets. Here is the
result of running ifconfig.
