Some people were caught by the somewhat recent requirement for an 
/aliases node and properties pointing to the "real" ethernet node (which 
is a Good Thing[tm] because it makes the code board agnostic, pushes the 
board configuration into the .dts where it belongs).

I don't associate Andre's assertion:

with the symptoms caused by a missing /aliases node.  Maybe, maybe not, 
could be my lack of experience.
