When we were using the eval version of Xilinx's 10/100 EMAC it would time-
out after 8 hours (and the kernel would panic since our root fs was NFS-
mounted).

If your only [to-be-]licensed core is Ethernet, then I take it you're using
the UARTLite, or a non-Xilinx UART?  We used Xilinx's 16550-compatible UART,
which is licensed, but I never ran with the eval version of that IP block
and so have no idea how long it will function before shutting down.
