Ok. At least we know now that the switch functioning (even without a
dedicated driver). One question left: what happens to the Ethernet
driver?

Can you boot your router in failsafe mode again, and try to toggle
eth0 down/up? E.g.:
# ifconfig eth0 down
# ifconfig eth0 up

To figure out, is taking down the interface enough to break it, or
something else happened during the initialization, what prevent us to
bring it up again.
