AFAIK there is no workaround for this. I talked with the DTS
engineer who worked this issue through for another USB Ethernet
developer, and their final conclusion was to document the problem to
end users and wait for Apple to fix IOEthernetController.

The best way to do this depends on the circumstances in which you got
the kernel panic. If you can reproduce the panic in house, the
correct thing to do is to build a debug version of the kernel from
the Darwin source code, install that kernel on your test machine,
attach gdb in two machine mode, and then run your test. That way
you'll get full source-level debugging of the panic.
If you've got the panic text from an end user (ie they typed it in
and emailed it to you) there are other techniques to map the symbol
names. I'm not intimately familiar with them, so I'll defer doing
the research unless you confirm that this is what you're interested
in.
Another DTS engineer is working on an "interpreting kernel panics"
technote, which should be published in the next few months.
