[uClinux-dev] Re: fec patch problems

[Michael Broughton]

I can think of a couple possibilities:

1. The Intel PHY does not work with the generic PHY driver.
2. Your PHY has a different id.

I'll assume that the problem is number two. Go to the driver source, 
open up 'm528x.c' and change 'm528x_fec_phy_id' to the appropriate value.

Let me know if this works.

By the way, it is nice to hear someone is trying to use this. I have 
updates to the driver if you are interested. And some other patches too 
if you want more speed. Also, I am going to see if I can think of a 
better way to handle PHY id's.
