Ok, this really points to the hardware reset at the "source" of the 
problem, either inside the PHY or the MPC8260.

- Once again: After reset, the PHY has at least 5 seconds time for 
auto-negotiation, before the ethernet traffic starts? This should be 
ensured with the download time anyway...

- Can you possibly send me the source of the ethernet driver just to 
double check, that everything is all right there?

wkr,
Thomas.
