I suspect it was 0, because another suggestion in the same message was to start scanning at 0 rather than 1 (obsolete with current via-rhine code). > I know that PHYs go into isolate mode if the startup id is wired to 0, Wouldn't that be s/go/can go/ ? > but I haven't figured out what's necessary to initialize them: Just > clear the isolate bit or is it necessary to set the id to a nonzero value. The proposed fix apparently worked for the PHY in question (LSI Logic 80225). Roger
