For vanilla kernels, I think you want orion5x_defconfig as a start (ARM system 
Type --. Marvell Orion), then:

CONFIG_MACH_TS78XX  ??

CONFIG_NET_PCI ??  (probably not needed, I think it only changes the cards 
presented to the user for configuring, not changing any code).

I believe MV643XX_ETH is the correct choice, not AX88796.  Take a look through 
arch/arm/mach-orion5x/ts78xx-setup.c
