Hi,

I am working on a custom board based on a OMAP L138 with a KSZ8041TL-FT=
L=20
phy that have fibber and copper support.

When using with fibber the board can't connect to a switch, only after=20
exec :

	ethtool -s eth1 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off

the phy get link and start working.

On some switches it appears that autoneg don't work well with fibber,=20
ethtool reports that its at 10MB/s after exec

	ethtool -s eth1 autoneg on

The auto negotiation bit on phy register is disable on start when using=
=20
the fibber but Linux don't appear to look at it.

=46ound a thread [1] that solve the problem but don't appear to be full=
y=20
accepted.

The problem is modifying the phy code without interfere with ethtool us=
e.

Any official/accepted solution to this problem ?

Thanks.
