I've booted many recent kernels on revA 8313ERDB; networking works fine. 
I'll try 2.6.28.6 specifically, though u-boot is acting up at the moment
so I have to address that first. :-(

Are you using the stock config and device tree from 2.6.28.6, or have you
made any changes?

Yes.  dts version 0 had hex by default (with OF-like radix prefixes), and version 1 (indicated by
/dts-v1/; at the top of the file) has decimal by default (with C-like
radix prefixes).

Please don't top-post.

You're sure you're not trying to talk to the switch (which will claim
link-up regardless of what's plugged into it)?  The non-switch ethernet
port is eTSEC2.

What *does* it do when you ping, if neither hang nor work?
