Just to update this (old) thread ...

I can still confirm that *without* the above patch, I am *unable* to use both network
ports on our AM335x board.

My .dts file contains:-

mac: ethernet@...00000 {
	dual_emac = <1>;

	cpsw_emac0: slave@...00200 {
		dual_emac_res_vlan = <1>;
	};

	cpsw_emac1: slave@...00300 {
		dual_emac_res_vlan = <2>;
	};
};

&cpsw_emac0 {
	phy_id = <&davinci_mdio>, <0>;
};

&cpsw_emac1 {
	phy_id = <&davinci_mdio>, <1>;
};

My /etc/network/interfaces file is:-

auto lo eth0 eth1
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.101.3
netmask 255.255.0.0
gateway 10.0.0.1
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.1.101.3
netmask 255.255.0.0

So I'm not sure what's wrong, but it's *definitely* not correct.

Cheers
Mark J.
