Hi,

I was able to build a kernel for RB2011 and it works quite well, just
one, but really important thing does not work for me - ethernet switch.
It looks like something wrong with MDIO, so I can't configure correctly
the switches, and as there is no port connected directly to CPU, I
can't currently do any network traffic. If I could reliably read/write
switch registers, then I eventually would play with vlan support.

Did someone achieve success with RB2011 ethernet?

Milan
