Re: Ethernet PHY chip discovery not working on 855T with 971/972 chips

Dear Tom,

in message [off-list ref] you wrote:

We changed this in our kernel tree some time ago. If no valid PHY  is
found  we simply do not enable the interface, but we do not panic any
more.

Which raises two fun questions:
1) Do you plan on ever trying to re-sync your 2.4 tree with the
community tree (which should become kernel.org before too long)?

We do this from time to time. The last  (visible)  re-sync  was  with
2.4.20  (ChangeSet  1.1174  =  20021129181904|49831), which is half a
year ago. On the other hand, we don't have the  resources  to  follow
each and every change immediately.

2) Do you plan on trying to keep in sync with 2.6 now that it's coming
up on us?

Of course we will follow 2.6 as well.

Why are you asking? Did I give any reason to think we might go out of
business?


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
