Sorry, still struggling with my MTA... Here is the result of the same command on a genuine TL-WR703N with the newest factory firmware "3.14.4 build 120925 rel 33144n" (aka "Ver; 1.7"), thanks to Uncle_Vernon on the forum:
U-Boot 1.1.4 (Sep 25 2012 - 09:04:47) AP121 (ar9330) U-boot <...> hornet> md.l 0xb8070000 1 b8070000: 00000190 .... hornet> I prefered to have this test performed on a stock v1.7 device rather than on my modified v1.6, just in case there is an unexpected hardware change between the 2 versions. So it looks like both PHYs and MACs are swapped in v1.7 U-Boot, while this wasn't the case in previous versions. >From what I understand, it looks like the newest U-Boot is routing the >Ethernet port 4 (the only one that is physically connected) through the eth1 >switch, rather than eth0? I don't see a reason for doing this: does it benefit from the GMII speed over simple MII, or is it to enable the switch QoS capabilities? Do you see any other reason? -Michel Le 02/01/2013 22:56, Gabor Juhos a écrit : > 2013.01.02. 16:27 keltezéssel, Michel Stempin írta: >> Since factory firmware "3.14.4 build 120925 rel 33144n" (aka "Ver; 1.7", >> although product labeling is not reliable), the Ethernet port is not working >> any more. >> >> See forum thread for details: >> https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=186732 >> >> This is caused by factory "U-Boot 1.1.4 Sep 25 2012 09:05:04" no longer >> swapping the PHY address in switch before launching the kernel. > > This seems odd.
