Oddly enough, I tried a different PC (with a different NIC) and it worked there. But I'm reluctant to blame the NIC on the first machine, since it worked fine once Linux was running on the PowerPC.

It seems every now and then a report pops up that the Sequoia board (or now on equivalent hardware) has problems connecting to a Gigabit capable network interface. In our case, it's when the Sequoia is attached to a HP Procurve switch.
AMCC Technical Support was not able to reproduce the problem, so officially it does not exist.
Could you please let me know which exact network card you are using on your PC, and which Linux distro / lenrel version / driver version you are running on it?
Best regards,
