Hi, Perhaps not a relevant question on this list, but still trying before posting on linux-net:
I'm doing a network driver for the MPC8313E-rdb board, which has 2 ethernet MACs. I'm successfully able to bring up the second MAC that is connected to a Marvell PHY (and hence has a given phy address). So far so good, but here is the problem: As per the board documents, the first MAC is connected to an L2 switch (Vitesse VSC7385) which is a 5 port switch (and the board actually has 5 RJ-45 ports on it). There are no phy addresses provided in the board document for this, and as per the diagram, there is no MDC / MDIO signal between the MAC & the Switch. So my questions: 1) In my case where MAC is connected to a 5 port switch instead of a PHY. Is this functionally equivalent to MAC being connected to 5 PHYs? 2) Can I use the kernel generic MII routines to init / manage the switch?
