[arm-allstar] Network Configuration

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

You don't necessarily need a serial cable - you can see them in
`dmesg` (kernel messages). Here's what mine says...

[    9.907251] net eth0: initializing cpsw version 1.12 (0)
[    9.910123] net eth0: phy found : id is : 0x7c0f1
[    9.910153] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found
[    9.915279] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1
[    9.956453] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[   11.916167] libphy: 4a101000.mdio:00 - Link is Up - 100/Full
[   11.916242] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

If John's not seeing "Link is Up", there may be a physical problem
(bad cable, switch, etc.), or maybe some config issue that's causing
the NIC to not get initialised....

73,
