Great! there are surprisingly no  problems with genet/Ethernet  with your special  u-boot(of whatever hacks it consists), so your u-boot-compilation

just as you don't remember the current month, I don't remember which bunch of files  I had overwritten in the msdos partition …… Haha :-)
 installed  RPI-firmware on mine is the latest beta with the USB-boot-fix
