Hi !

Remove ethernet support is not the solution for the customer. He only wants 
not that the default IP-configuration of redboot could make problems when he 
sells the board to someone other. He wants to have a Ip-Address in redboot 
which could not confict with other IP-Adresses, but the only one which I know 
was 0.0.0.0 all other Adresse "could" confict.

how do others do this with redboot? they leave one static Ip-Adress and if 
there is a confict, the confict is only a very small time (boot of redboot) 
which make no problem ???
