I was going to suggest trying using "watch-net-all". It relies on there 
being traffic on the connected networks but can be useful. See

That is good. All 4 devices show up on the PCI bus.

Matching HWaddr to the local-mac-address properties in the prtconf 
output that is the device listed at node 0xf00bea74
I think that you have previously confirmed that this is connected to 
net0 (known as "net" in the OBP aliases)

        net: '/pci@1f,700000/network@2'

and from your dmesg output you posted earlier that matches too

[   83.749175] tg3 0000:00:02.0: eth0: No firmware running

This HWaddr matches node 0xf00b0d34 which is net2.

        net2: '/pci@1d,700000/network@2'

So I think you need to do your tests connected to the net2 port.

[   45.499671] tg3 0003:00:02.0: eth1: dma_rwctrl[763f0000] dma_mask[32-bit]


Additionally it looks like the 2nd network device on each PCI bus is not 
getting
attached properly.

Does

dmesg | grep tg3
or
dmesg | grep 0003:00:02

produce anything relating to the other ports?
