FS#3334 - RouterBoard RB411 ethernet not detected

I was too eager to report back success, but the ethernet issue persists on a different layer. The driver, after the inclusion of the generic PHY, loads fine, but there is an issue with the correct connection of the phy to the actual port of the rb411.

I tried to locate the issue, by searching the ar71xx tree for the rb411 settings, but so far with no success.  if there is interest on bringing back to life rb411/rb433 devices under the ath79 arch, I will follow-up on this issue with more feedback.

BTW, current ath79 trunk for rb493 does not boot on my rb411. my ozonet openwrt builds (a miserably de-bloated openwrt version) boots just fine with the exception of the ethernet issue that renders the device useless.

& a note to the current maintainers/developers: it's sad to see so many archs been thrown away from openwrt, after so many years of works & efforts. after all, openwrt gained popularity by Long Term support on legacy devices. MikroTik (a commercial company), among others, still maintains code for devices as rb411/rb433

I guess, Open Source it's not what it used to be in the good old days :)
