I think i finally figured out the issue. I was compiling with
arm-none-eabi bare-board compiler. Which seemed to make sense to me
since the bootloader is not running on top of an OS, but...
when I recompiled using a arm-none-linux-gnueabi toolchain, the
Ethernet driver jumped to life and started working.
thanks for all of your support with this one.
Now if only i can figure out how to make it boot from flash.... but
that's for another thread.
