I'm wondering if we really need to have the option to disable phylib. Actually we have made phylib selected by default for ucc_geth. Many L2 switch chips have the capacity to be controlled. Therefore they can be managed as a phy device. For the MII interface which is not configurable, shouldn't we use the fixed phy support from Vitaly? - Leo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
