Josh & Frank,

Sorry again for dropping the ball on this one.  This is a useful feature 
that we should add to U-boot, but I'm concerned about the memory footprint.

Allocating a 16k buffer should be optional.  Please consider wrapping 
this feature in a CONFIG.

I get a compiler warning here that a simple cast should fix:
net.c: In function 'NetLoop':
net.c:300: warning: format '%08x' expects type 'unsigned int', but 
argument 2 has type 'uchar *'
