It cannot be upped:

# ip l set dev if up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented
# ifconfig if up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented
# busybox ip l set dev if up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented

It probably isn't the via driver at all, but something in the ioctl layer.
Try it without using the busybox version of ifconfig and ip.

As shown above, I did it. All three utilities fail.

I rechecked that rc3 works and found out that rc4 does not.

I also booted with init=/bin/sh and ran 'ip l set dev eth0 up'
- it fails under rc4, but works under rc3. This rules out
my userspace setup being somehow involved.

Config for rc4 is attached.
