I have verified that I am getting packets over the ethernet
before the scc_enet_open() is called, I somehow suspect that
this might be causing my random crashes.

You just kludge it by looking at your 'opened' flag and dropping the
packet in scc_enet_rx if it's false.  If it stops the

Yes I will try that too.

crashes, you'll be
OK until you find a version of the driver that doesn't have this
problem.

The version of the driver I use does all the hardware
initialization in
scc_enet_init, and then all that scc_enet_open does is call
netif_start_queue.

My enet.c does excactly this. And it is deffinitly not doing the right
thing,
try e.g. to flood ping the board while it is booting you will see all
kinds
of wonderful strange behaviour.

Thanks,

K.D.
