Subject: [PATCH] pasemi_mac: ethtool get settings fix
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2009 02:27:48 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091001222748.GA21276@ru.mvista.com> (raw)
Not all pasemi mac interfaces can have a phy attached.
For example, XAUI has no phy and phydev is NULL for it.
In this case ethtool get settings causes kernel crash.
Fix it by returning -EOPNOTSUPP if there's no PHY attached.
