 f****n-A!  so that's.... w00t!   i think 9 out of 9 tested.  i think
we can safely say that ethernet's working.

that's easy.  put in an sd/mmc card and do "mmc rescan".   then... i
think you can do tricks like "fatls mmc 0".  do "help fatls" and it
should show you the syntax.  assuming you've got a FAT-formatted sd
card you should see a complete top-level directory listing.

you're pretty much there, joe, for booting your own kernel and OS.
