Hi. This patch lets gianfar work on 83xx (or 85xx??) boards that have Generic PHYs on them that do _NOT_ happen to have an IRQ line wired to external_15. Surely reasonable that if we can't ID the PHY that its probably not irq-wired the Freescale-ADS "way"... It was critical for us; perhaps usefull for others. -dbu.
