There were two issues that were identified. The first was that when in 2500Base-X mode, the PCS wasn't reporting link-up. That was addressed by the patch series: z4tbr93b-x8a8...@shell.armlinux.org.uk then, the replacement for Eric's patch was: e1tyhxp-001fhf...@rmk-pc.armlinux.org.uk So the problem should be solved with these applied, as when the PHY is attached, "changed" will always be true, which is in effect what Eric's patch was doing, but in a cleaner way. Please confirm that you have all six patches applied. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
