Hi Art
Thanks for the reply.
I took out enable kitl out of the settings. Before my bootloader got
an ip address that was passed along to the debug ethernet connection.
I am not exactly sure how the mechanism worked, but this ip address
was used for both debug and normal ethernet operations.
Now that I no longer have a debug connection, the normal operations
also stopped working. Actually, it appears like the normal port is
working but my device is totally headless so I have no idea what the
IP address is. (I do know it isn't the same one as the bootloader
had).
I guess the normal driver has to now re-use the bootloader's ip
address from the global area they both have in common. If that is the
correct way to do this, how would I go about doing it?
Regards,
Remco

When you remove KITL, this driver is not active anymore. You need to develop/port a true NDIS mini-port Ethernet device driver for you product to get non-debug image to work on Ethernet. ETHDBG and NDIS mini-port are mutual exclusive
