[fedora-arm] Network not working on Devkit8000

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

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.

Any help is welcome. Thanks.
