Devkit8000 is a BeagleBoard clone that has an Enthernet interface.
I've installed Fedora 14 ARM as described in
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardFedora using the following command:
$ sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdb --uboot beagle_xm
Patches welcome*, as I DO NOT have the Devkit8000, so i'm unable to
test/fix it...

Remember this is also using an external kernel, with fedora userspace...
Early on boot I see this message:
Net: Net Initialization Skipped
No ethernet found.
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
I'm able to login as root but I can not bring up the network:
# modprobe dm9000
[ 275.382568] dm9000 Ethernet Driver, V1.31
# ifup eth0
Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
In the original Angstrom image that came with the board, the network
is identified during boot and works fine:
brd: module loaded
loop: module loaded
dm9000 Ethernet Driver, V1.31
eth0: dm9000a at c88ae000,c88b2400 IRQ 185 MAC: 00:11:22:33:44:55 (chip)
I used "--uboot beagle_xm" because it also has Enthernet interface,
but I tried with "beagle_bx" and "beagle_cx" with the same results.
That's because, the only difference between those boards, is the
disabling of eth0 on bootup... But still your using the Beagle
MLO/u-boot.img on a non Beagle device... (In the past i had to
separate them to using different version of MLO/u-boot.bin, but those
days are past, so there's zero bootloader differences now between
those 3..)
