All TQM8xxL and TQM82xx systems are supported by us (DENX), and  work
fine, including network.

Usually  this  means  exactly  what  it  says:  there  is   no   file
/proc/net/dev on your system.

Did you MOUNT the /proc filesystem?

Usually we have something like

	# mount /proc so "reboot" works
	/bin/mount -t proc proc /proc

in our "/etc/rc.sh" script.

See our SELF package (Simple Embedded Linux Framework) wor a  working
configuration  (which  also adds a few goodies like applets to access
the PPCBoot environment variables, and the on-board flash memory):
