What CPU is being used on that eval board? If it's one that isn't yet
supported in our sources then I suspect you have a problem either with the
cacheflushing routines themselfes or the calls to them in the network
driver. What NIC are you using, btw? We've got patches around for a
couple of those which are most often being used with MIPS machines.

Unless you're using extremly old binaries I'm highly confident that the
binaries which you are using are ok.
