You cannot add new hardware to an existing target. You need to add a
new target. Take a look at the pc_i82544 target as an example. You
need to replace the two CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_* lines. One should be the
generic DP83816 package. The other will be a new package you need to
add.

You need a hardware dependent package which configures the hardware
independent DP83816 driver for your specific board. Take a look at
/devs/eth/powerpc/moab/current/ for an example of this.
