When reading through the state machine code in phy.c I wondered whether there is any PHY which reports the link as up during autonegotiation. (It's about handling PHY_AN in the state machine, once we know the link is up we still check whether aneg was completed. Is this needed?)
At least the PHY's I have access to all report the link as down when autonegotiating. I checked also clause 22 of 802.3u, however found no clear definition when a link should be considered up. There it's stated that it's PHY-dependent. Can you shed any light on this? Thanks, Heiner
