Hi,
I made a small change in arch/ppc/platforms/85xx/mpc8540*c . I changed the 
phyid value of TSEC1 to 4 and TSEC2 to 5. And it started working.

Hi, 

Finally i have reached a position, where the PHY is detected . Now i am 
using kernel version 2.6.14.4 and the gianfar_driver and phy driver seem 
to be ok 

But my problem now is after the PHY is detected (correctly) I don't get 
messages like Speed, Full or half duplex, link is up etc. 
This means that the driver is not completely up, right ? 

What might be the problem ? 

I am loading gianfar driver as a loadable module, but the marvell and 
generic phy driver are built into the kernel. 

This is my output : 
/ # ifconfig eth0 172.28.8.254 up 
eth0: PHY is Marvell 88E1101/88E1111 (1410c62) 

But after this no output, like Speed, etc. 
I checked the code, this info is in a function , gfar_phy_change which 
inturn is setup in a PHY change work queue called INIT_WORK. All of this 
code is in 
drivers/net/gianfar.c

Hi,

Can you quickly check if you have the right phy id written in your

               Hi, 
 
               Downloaded 2.6.16.26 and booted up and got this :

               I had enabled all the PHY devices in .config and also tried 
only with Marvell phy enabled.

               It looks like your 2.6.12 kernel isn't handling the PHY 
correctly. 
               I'd recommend upgrading to something newer which has the 
phylib 
               (can't remember which 2.6 that went into).
