One problem here is that MII depends on NET_ETHERNET, which is
10/100 ethernet, which may not be enabled if someone has only
gigabit ethernet.  :)

I have a partial patch which moves MII and PHYLIB outside of
NET_ETHERNET.  That also makes them usable by USB or other
non-drivers/net/ drivers, e.g., again without the need
to enable NET_ETHERNET if someone only has USB ethernet.  :(

I'll try to post it for review later today.

I'm actually quite inclined to rip out all MII support entirely. 
There's a lot of code in this driver that needs cleaning up 
cosmetically, and removing deprecated features would certainly speed 
things up.  What do you think?

All of that sounds like a good idea to me.
I didn't realize that MII support is deprecated.  Do you mean
that it's deprecated for gigabit?

To be precise, mii-tool is deprecated, in favor of ethtool.  There are 
other things that use mii capabilities.  Bonding uses miimon, but the 
arp monitor is an alternative, and I don't think there's much overlap 
between workloads where people care about bonding and workloads people 
run on an Asus M2V motherboard, so I'm not sure there's much 
justification to bother supporting the feature, except completeness. 
Thus my question to netdev:

Would anyone care if we removed MII support from an experimental driver 
for a chip that is only known to ship on non-OEM desktop boards?

Is there a similar feature in ethtool ?

Thi should be atl1-y += ...

In short the whole contents of this file should be:

obj-$(CONFIG_ATL1)	+= atl1.o

Good point.  The original Attansic driver had a whole bunch of legacy 
compat crap, documentation build targets left over from e1000, etc. 
which we've been modifying and mostly just removing.  We don't really 
need this for merging.  If Attansic wants to maintain something out of 
tree for legacy kernels, they might want to reinsert this, but we really 
don't need it.

Thanks for pointing this out.
