Yes that's right.

I have modified some code in fcc_enet.c for Linux 2.4 to manage PHY as I
wanted.
Perhaps was I in luck to correct something wrong. I checked that the duplex
were identical for FCC and PHY and I had no carrier error.

Yes I retreived fs_enet in Linux 2.6.15 and I'll try it.
This driver seems to appear in Linux 2.6.11 tree not before.
Is it right ?

Thanks very much for your reply.
Best regards
