(Sorry, repeat message due to the previous one being HTML) Hello,
I'm using an embedded Linux board based on an AT91SAM9X25 that uses the Davicom DM9162IEP PHY chip. I'm struggling to get packets out on the wire and I'm suspecting that I might have an issue between the AT91 MAC and the PHY chip. I've looked through the kernel config options and the kernel already has compiled-in support for the Davicom PHYs, however I noticed that according to the help text, only the dm9161e and dm9131 chips are supported, which may indicate why my ethernet isn't working. I was wondering whether the DM9162 is backwards compatible with the existing driver? I'm currently using the mainline kernel 4.3. (p.s. I know the hardware works fine since I have no problem transferring files using tftp via u-boot). Thanks, Amr Bekhit
