No ethernet connection ea8500

maybe here ;

ethernet: error reading critical device node properties
[   28.355928] nss-gmac: probe of 37400000.ethernet failed with error -14

btw I changed the gmac1 and 2 in .dts as someone earlier told me

Please note: only on @ACwifidude code need to change that gmac2 addr to 4. I tested on my ea8500.

Please try openwrt official img v21.02.2 first, it works.
The official ea8500 driver, gmac2 is 0, and gmac1 is 4, donot modify it.

It works on 21.02...
So do I need to.change it on the Nss?

If you need NSS, suggest you clone @ACwifidude repo, and do:

./scripts/feeds update -a && ./scripts/feeds install -a && cp diffconfig .config && make defconfig && ./scripts/getver.sh

then modify the gmac..........and modify apps you wanted.

If you add NSS driver by yourself, I donot know how to do.

Only gmac 2 I modified, right?

No, switch the gmac1 and 2, <0> and <4>
