This is just a VERY wild guess: check the driver source
(arch/ppc/8xx_io/fec.c in your case) and make sure the driver only forwards
received packets to the IP stack when the interface is configured "UP".
There once was a similar problem with the 826x driver.

Another reason could be that the FEC channel is not properly shut down by
the firmware/bootloader before entering the kernel.

Next time try to add more information about your system, especially about
the kernel and bootloader version you are using.

Marius
