Hi Andy, Thank you for your information. So the driver is not the issue, but better to upgraded.
I will check the board once more. The PHY doesn't work because the 8bit bus between MAC and PHY is locked(TX_EN and RX_DV all disabled from the scope's view) and also you can't see any signals exist at the Magnetic side(nor LED signals). It seems that only MDC/MDIO and CLOCK reference pin works. The PHY's ID must be read from MDC/MDIO interface and Clocks are right showed on the scope.
