I don't see how commenting out octm should break that... weird!

Great!

I can't speak to root cause diagnosis right now.  It sounds like I
need to dig out a copy of UBNT's GPL-compliance-bundle including their
Simple Executive and Linux Ethernet driver patches; I may have missed
some delta that would fix autonegotiation.

Out of curiosity: do you know what batch your ERLite is from?  I have
one on which the Ethernet ports seem to have pretty much stopped
working after a few months of always-on use.  I can't even get traffic
to pass from within U-Boot.  I find that kind of thing worrying.  (It
seems unrelated to the symptoms you describe, but it makes me slightly
doubt the integrity of the PHYs being used.)

Thanks,
juli.
