Hi,

We are using MPC8272 based target board, we use montavista Linux version 
2.6.10 kernel image (with NFS enabled) to our target board,

Our board has  2 FCCs (eth0 and eth1). bot the eth's works perfectly when 
we use them independently, but when we are trying to enable second one 
after the kernel is up using linux command  "ifconfig eth1 192.168.33.64 
up"(IP address)nothing is working.
Please suggest how to enable second eth (either 0 or 1) once the kernel is 
up with NFS file system

I could recall no problems with mpc8272 except stuck PHY which were cured by board power cycle.
I brought up second Ethernet interface a number of times without any problem; even had them replace each 
other serving as NFS root gate.

So I would suggest supplying more information on "nothing is working", prolly kernel output and details about MVL product you are using.
