The addresses passed to the driver is the I/O area of the chip select
signal used for the Ethernet chip. This setting should be alright, as it
worked well for me.

If your kernel hangs when accessing this area, you most probably haven't
set up your static bus correctly. The bootloader is in charge of doing
this, and the correct value for CSADRCFG2 is 0x0032C809.

Also see http://openpxa.sourceforge.net/ for patches to U-Boot and more
information about replacing the native bootloader the modules ships
with.
