I've checked git log and there is nothing, which might cause that
problems. In fact 2.6.30-rc7 from Linux-mips git gives me a working
ethernet on my IP22 R4k 250MHz. Unfortunatly neither 2.6.26-2 nor
2.6.29-rc7 are working on that machine due to some bad interaction
between CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK and overwritten prom memory during
early boot (this bug is on my todo list).
Some question to narrow down the issue:
What's the exact type of Indigo2 (cpu speed, impact/non impact) ?
Could we get a boot log ?
How is the ethernet connected ? RJ45 or AUI ?
What does the connected switch think about link state ?
Does the machine still boot via bootp/tftp from PROM ?
Is the upgrade really the only change, which happened on the network ?
