1. Did this work until you wanted to bootp?
2. Did you confirm that 8260_io/fcc_enet.c is configured with the same RX/TX
clocks as your hardware? (I had to change this and submitted patches to make this
a configuration option. Never made it into the tree.)
3. If you are not using MII to sense the speed, the driver initializes to
half-duplex. Look at this driver initilization if this is a potential problem.

Hope this helps.
