You can use this for your board. But it still leaves the phy driver broken for everybody else. > What function should my MAC driver call when it wants the phy core to call > at803x_aneg_done again to see if autonegotiation is done? You want to trigger the PHY state machine. There is only one exported API call to do this, phy_mac_interrupt(). But you are supposed to pass the new link state. And your MAC driver has no idea of that, it does not know if the copper side of the PHY is up. So it might be better if you export phy_trigger_machine(). > Also, is there a way for the MAC driver to know that at803x_aneg_done() > previously returned 0, and that it needs to tell the phy core to check again? Not that i know of. The MAC layer is not supposed to be messing around in the PHY layer. However, just triggering the PHY state machine should be enough. Andrew
