If you can send packets, but not receive....you're PHY is in half-duplex and something went wrong with autonegotation. Broadcom, AMD, Marvell and others almost always have some software work arounds for PHY bugs. Did you look up the part number for the PHY used on your board and grep through the net drivers in the Linux kernel for possible work-arounds done by some of the other network drivers? I do not know if your version of CFE has the ability to examine the PHY registers. If so, do a 'ifconfig /auto' to get your IP address for your board. Then dump the PHY registers. Next, boot your kernel and dump the PHY registers and look at differences. -Steve
