That driver either "supports" any PHY, or none at all, depending upon your perspective. None of the command/status MII interface is in place to do anything. None of those functions are called in the driver. The QS6612 comment is left over from the 860T FEC driver I copied to get the framework for the FCC driver. The Linux 8260 FCC driver works with the supplied EST hardware and the CTX-1170 I have. I know it doesn't work on some others, and I don't know if they use the same Ethernet PHY or the deal of the week. >>From looking at the drivers, it appears they are a little out of date. I have a newer one (that I was certain I checked in) that will interrogate the PHY. In any case, this driver should work fine on any half duplex Ethernet, and you should see transmit packets in any case. > I know that the hardware can work, because the VxWorks boot rom loads > Linux successfully via this interface and MII. Then the driver must not be configuring the I/O lines correctly for some unknown reason, or you are running full duplex without the FCC initialized to do that. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
