Hey that is me again, no one answers, so I do... . I would give some more information in the Hope that it helps to get feedback. The phy I use on the NAS board is a realtek 8211c. The most actual driver I found on the web seems to be also included in open wrt.
Now I have the following write outs(is that plain english?)when booting open wrt. It stops with the last message:
