In newer drivers, this would be done in a board specific file.  As you
can tell, this code enables the Ethernet PHY.  I don't understand
why that extra 'add this' is necessary.  That does some PCMCIA signal
routing to IP_B5, which should not have any effect on the Ethernet.

What revision of board is this?  I have RPXLite's that I boot from
flash all of the time without trouble.

i *just* *now* talked to the author.  it's board-specific, has to do
with a register in the CPLD on our board, that's the reader's digest
condensed version.  this is a custom board, so i definitely don't
expect it to behave like a regular rpxlite.  so ignore all this,
unless this explanation makes no sense at all. :-)
