ensure you have ABLE 1.98 or better
(http://www.simtec.co.uk/products/EB2410ITX/resources.html#firmware)
versions prior to this did not have a proper ifconfig command.

Here if I want to do a *static* configured IP address I would use:

>ifconfig ne0 192.168.7.101 tftpserver 192.168.7.1
looking for net.ne0
>(tftpboot)moo

and that seems to work fine. Mostly I use dhcp so teh ifconfig command
doesnt botehr me much.

Report the bugs to simtec, they seem responsive for me in the past.
