Using a network debug connection to debug network drivers is quite
problematic (using networking debugging itself is pretty tricky and
has limitations). I'd suggest that you use serial debugging until
you get your network driver [at least mostly] working.
Note: you can still use the network to download your code, then
switch to serial. e.g.
(gdb) tar rem target:9000
(gdb) lo
(gdb) det
(gdb) tar rem /dev/ttyS0
