Yeah, orders......There are (too many :-) other cooks if you would
rather send your recipe to them :-).

Sure.

There have been lots of cooks there recently as well.  I think the MDIO
enable is an artifact of something that was added for the 8xx configuration.
I guess I better look at this driver again and see if I can remember how
it attained its current state.  The MDIO has always been a challenge on
the 8260.  It is usually software managed, and when it works for one PHY
it seems to be broken for another.  Basically, it works for the last
person that added a PHY :-).

You are welcome to make it work :-).  I just let them autonegotiate the
highest performance and declare victory.  I'm sufficiently challenged
to just send bits......

Well that's interesting....I just discovered my tibook clock is set
incorrectly......sorry about that.
