You can build and boot a mipsel vmlinux by following the steps I described
previously. In the kernel messages you'll see the jazzsonic driver attempt
to probe the device. When it succeeds, you'll see the MAC address
reported. You can also observe the regression I reported with regards to
patch 2/6, "dp8393x: don't force 32-bit register access".
Those instructions are useful, but since I am not a MIPS developer I don't have an
existing toolchain/kernel tree and rootfs available to test this.
If you can provide me with a link to your vmlinux and rootfs with busybox or similar
in it, I can take a look to see what is happening here. Otherwise it's almost
impossible for me to understand and debug the problem you are seeing on your setup.
ATB,
Mark.
