At least initially, it probably make sense to work only with the RLTK
driver. Remove the default ethernet device entirely. Only when that is
working 100% should you then try running with both.

Note that in the past the only boards we have had with more than one
ethernet interface have always had identical devices. While the
software is structured to allow multiple different devices, it has
never been execised in this way, so there may be lurking bugs.
