Calibration is quite hard to do; but I have already posted an incomplete patch about it on the list, which was rejected due to a huge error, and my VMware installation died next day before I could fix the patch up. Fixing the remaining issues on that should be easy - you need to implement PHY reset (and use it instead of put_phy_into_reset, which should actually be called disable_phy) and replace the inline implementation of "PHY anacore" with a proper call to the switch_analog op. (When I wrote the code, I didn't realize that "PHY anacore" actually means "switch analog core".) Note that my patch doesn't contain all 3 calibration routines, only one of them. BTW your "useless" patches will probably become useful when writing calibration. > _______________________________________________ > Bcm43xx-dev mailing list > Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev > -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-) _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
