After digging into the fec.c driver and discussing with fsl guys, I found currently the driver does not include link support to imx chips only for Coldfire specific.
There are 2 solutions, 1. change the driver to support imx chips as well as Coldfire. 2. move the whole driver to use generic phylib framework to support almost all the PHY device and link status detection. -- imx51 on board ethernet plug/unplug events not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/457878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
