Maybe I have a similar problem. While supported on i386, I can not get Am79C970A or 
Am79C978 to work on EBSA285. Do these chips need an ARM adapted pcnet32 driver to work?

In my case I have bootp enabled. When bootp is sent, I do not get any interrupts, and 
no packets on the ethernet wire. But later on, when bootp has done a number of retries 
and timed out, I see a bootp packet on the wire and I get an interrupt. See below. Any 
hints on what I could do to correct this?

(I have it working with other network adapters like DEC 21040.)

Thanks for any help,
Joakim
