This patch provides code paths which allow the natsemi driver to use the
external MII port on the chip but ignore any PHYs that may be attached to it.
The link state will be left as it was when the driver started and can be
configured via ethtool. Any PHYs that are present can be accessed via the
Aculab E1/T1 PMXc cPCI carrier card cards present a natsemi on the cPCI
bus with an oversized EEPROM using a direct MII<->MII connection with no
PHY. This patch adds a new device table entry supporting these cards.
Signed-Off-By: Mark Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Index: linux/drivers/net/natsemi.c
These patches add support for the Aculab E1/T1 cPCI carrier card to the
natsemi driver. The first patch provides support for using the MII port
with no PHY and the second adds the quirk required to configure the
card.
