Hi, when compiling a kernel for my XXS1500 I allways ended up with a kernel oops in the network driver (au1000eth.c). Finaly I checked the actual kernel source the running kernel was build from and found "CONFIG_BCM5222_DUAL_PHY" was set. Setting that solves the oops. Maybe that could be caught in some way and prevented.
