Nothing to do with IPv6.

It does not.

The crash is probably fixed by a change in Linux 3.14.5:
commit cd7faf359dc0eeb672c820d2308a71b1c1fbadf9
Author: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
Date: Wed May 14 13:12:49 2014 -0700
net: phy: Don't call phy_resume if phy_init_hw failed
However, the bug this fixes is only triggered if initialisation has
already failed in some way. Did the et131x driver actually *work* for
you previously? Which was the last working kernel version?
