Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. > Your dmesg shows Marvell 88E8116 PHY. It's known to me the PHY driver , e1000phy(4), has unresolved issues. Some variants of the 88E8116 are well supported by the e1000phy(4) driver but other variants are not. ATM I have no idea what's the root cause of the issue due to lack of PHY documentation and hardware. Some time ago, I've sent several patches to a user who reported the issue to me but I've failed to make it work. The only clue I know is ukphy(4) works for auto-sensing media type(Manual media selection with ukphy(4) didn't work for 88E8116). I vaguely guess it's related with power down mode of the MAC/PHY but working without real hardware made it difficult for me to fix. See PR kern/114086 for possible workaround. > Regards, -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon
