Re: [PATCH] sungem: PHY updates & pause fixes

Now, I cross-over with a TG3 and I get:

 - I advertise 0x5e1 (hopefully same value)
 - I read in LPA 0xc5e1 from the TG3
(and that other register tells me Rx and Tx pause can be enabled).

Does flow control get enabled with the TG3 on these
switches?  Just curious.

You should try to use flow control, even slower than 1000Mbit links.

Sorry, not sure I parse ;-) You mean allowing pause on 10 and 100 as
well ? I sure can, it's easy to fix.

That's correct.

That's the only problem I can see, would you mind fixing that and
I'll put your change into my net-2.6 tree and perhaps play around
with PAUSE on my switches here?

Sure will do.

Thanks a lot.
