Dockstar - no network (4 replies)

Guys, can I get some help with a Dockstar not getting/starting network?

I do have serial setup and see the following error while starting up:
[ 54.147022] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

I'm not sure if the ethernet port is dead or if I messed up some uboot variables as I was trying to upgrade uboot.
Not sure what logs to include but I'l be willing to grab them and post here.

Also I have read and is willing to update to the latest uboot but would like some input before I mess things up further.
I'm running an old uboot:
