Like Ben I don't really understand where your problem is. We have many boards with multiple Ethernet Interfaces; for example, we see boards with up to 4 x TSEC and up to 2 x EEPRO100 controllers. And there is never more than a single "active" device. We don't need any such code there. Why would you need it?
