Yeh... I never got around to finding out why ethernet did not work
reliably...  And no one from EmbeddedArm or Cirrus Logic was interested
in helping me out...  Having the ethernet port drop only some packets
(but not the ones to make nfs root unusable) made it anoying...  Even
though I was using the ported NetBSD driver, they simply said: works
on NetBSD tough luck...

Or some decent support to figure out why ethernet doesn't work...  If
you don't need ethernet working, then just updating the drivers to the
new io bus shouldn't be hard, and gets most things working..
