As a connectivity firmware developer, I want vemu to finish its Ethernet MAC model, so that I can depend on wired networking for production firmware, not just the common path.

Why it matters

Wired networking

Summary

MAC + DMA descriptor TX/RX

Scope of work

Currently a register-only stub. Replace it with a working model of Ethernet MAC that actually exhibits the hardware behavior. What it is: MAC + DMA descriptor TX/RX. Why it matters: Wired networking.

Current state

Status: Stub only (registers, no behavior). Notes / evidence: RK GMAC: register bag + edge-IRQ from DMA_CH0_STATUS; dead loopback_queue (doc claims TX->RX loopback but it is never wired); no descriptor fetch, no frame movement.
