After some more checking I found that the RTL8211F INER register doesn't seem
to accept writes. If I read back the INER register value in
rtl8211f_config_intr() I always get 0x0000, no matter which values I write to
the register before.
If no interrupt is triggered by the chip it's clear that ethernet isn't working.

I add Shengzhou who submitted the RTL8211F support as I'm curious whether anybody
ever used the RTL8211F successfully in interrupt mode.

I have some doubts as the code doesn't enable the interrupt for finished aneg
(only the one for link change).

Or may there be chip versions w/o interrupt support?
