It looks like your Ethernet Station Address (or MAC) may not be
set up properly.  The fact [you mentioned] that you get broadcast
packets means that the chip, interrupts, etc, are working.  The
ethernet controller is designed to only accept packets, and hence
generate interrupts to the system, when the ESA of a packet on
the wire matches certain criteria.  These are normally broadcast
and the ESA for the controller itself.  If the system thinks that
the device is using a particular ESA, but the device is configured
differently, then no packets will seem to arrive.

This [ESA] setup is done during initialization and there should
be some debug prints that you can turn on to see what's happening.
