LAN/NIC problem

[amc2012]

heres the patch I was talking about (and have been mentioning for months btw) ....olimex needed it first to fix their a20 boards iirc
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/20...49734.html
==> it 'fakes' auto-negotiations so they become master for sure , which made the a20 board behave stable :S
 net: phy: Optionally force master mode for RTL PHY
 sunxi: A20-Olimex-SOM-EVB: Force 8211CL to master
 sunxi: A20-OLinuXino-Lime2: Force 8211CL to master


I know this mentions the CL variant as opposed to our 8211E, but i seem to remember their issues were the quite same .... been a while since I found the patch ... so i don't remember the details - even more info : https://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot@list...07006.html

But then I believe you can't have two "broken" boards on the same network. But if you only have one PINE, and if the patch works, you'd be fine.
