Do you know of any patches that keep the NIC turned off until Linux is ready?

That's the init code for the network chip. I tried removing it, the code compiles, but the board won't boot w/ it(I imagine due to something unrelated).

If I knew of any such patches, I couldn't share them for Reasons, but suggest poking around mv88e6xxx_initialize in u-boot.
