In addition to the CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_VIA_RHINE package you also need to
have a package that adapts the generic driver to the specific
hardware. Take a look at any of the other PC targets to see how this
works. Also take a look at the documentation.

The RHINE ethernet driver appears to have only ever been used for the
sh7729pci board, so you may have to do a bit of work in the RHINE
driver. You should be able to create the new package you need by
combining one of the exising PC package with the sh7729pci package.
