Problem with bringing up Network

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, 

 when trying to add network support to my board, i suffer at the following problem. After starting uCLinux, i configure the smc91111 on eth0 with ifconfig. all seems to work fine, but the network interface still does not work. Normally one of the ethernet leds should begin to blink, because it receives some packets from network, but it doesn't, but it should of course. I also tried ifconfig eth0 up. Both leds only flash once shortly after using ifconfig... nothing more. I'm using a custom board. Before, working with uC/OS everthing works fine with the network adapter.   Here is my boot log: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
