Hi Heiner,

The phy starts in fiber mode and that's the mode I want.
My observation is: phydev->link is always 0 (Link status bit is never set in MII_BMSR) by using dynamic ability detection on my machine. I checked phydev->supported and it's set to "AutoNeg | TP | MII | Pause | Asym_Pause" by dynamic ability detection. Is it normal/expected? Or maybe the fix should go to different places? Thank you for your help.


Thanks,

Tao
