I am finally able to bring up the ks8995 driver by using fixed link for
all external ports.  Now I have lan1, lan2, lan3, and lan4 but I do not
know how to use them.  Using a br0 to combine them will send out 4 packets
for each one to br0.  And it cannot receive properly.  The individual lan1
device can send but also cannot receive.  Only eth0 can send and receive
so it is the only one which can ping.

The lan1 device cannot tell the speed of the port as fixed link is used.
Its other purpose is to shutdown the port, but there is nothing
implemented inside the driver.

So the ks8995 driver is not completed?
