Hi all, I'm debugging my board with MPC 8540 and marvell 88e1111 designed =20 on it. I'm sure the hardware connection is correct, and the phy's ID could =20=

is the driver's problem? Since the Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.1 surpport 88e1011s, but some 88e1111's registers are different from 88e1011s'. Actually I'm a new guy to Linux.

It would be better if you upgraded to the latest kernel. The PHY =20 subsystem in the driver has changed significantly since version 1.1 =20 of the driver. What leads you to believe that the PHY doesn't work? =20= What errors do you see? I'm fairly certain the 88e1111 works with =20 the 88e1011 driver, but it's been a while.
