Subject: [P.A. Semi] Does the ethernet interface work on your Electra, Chitra,
 Nemo, and Athena board?

Hi Michael,

Thanks a lot for your answer. We tested some vanilla mainline 4.3 
kernels on an Electra reference board. Additionally we tested some 
patched 4.3 kernels on our Nemo boards.

It would be really fantastic, if you could fix the problem.

Cheers,

Christian
