Kernel config again

Hi,

I'm trying to get the Debian Lenny distro working on the mini2440 board. At
this moment everything is fine and I have Lenny bootable and woking well.
The only issue is the Ethernet which doesn't seem to be working.

I used the following sources:

http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=linux-2.6.29-mini2440_20090708.tgz

and the default config for the 7" display with a single changed line to
support ext2. Plus, I fixed the SD driver about timings in order to make it
working smoothly with my card (to which the root file system is installed).

So, the question is: should the eth0 (DM9000) port be working out of the
box for the default config or should I enable more options to get it
working?

The config does enable Ethernet networking by default. The only thing to do
to make this working is specifying "ip=dhcp" in the Linux command line.
