Dear batao / Inderpal,

ping works only a few times after a number of usb reset / start attempts.
We are using linux 3.13 (exynos_defconfig) and rootfs linaro saucy server.

Upon linux boot there is only lo in ifconfig.
lsusb results in -99 error, similar to the on reported by batao in 

https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-stable-kernel/+bug/1301727

Can you suggest anything which we can try / test at our end to solve the ethernet issue with uboot/linux 

Best Regards,

Since no error is returned the exynos ehci driver goes ahead to setup the gpio and data abort happens. If I return failure from this function it works well.
