Subject: Micrel Phy - Is there a way to configure the Phy not to do 802.3x
 flow control?

Hi,

We are using Micrel Phy in one of our board and wondering if we can force the
Phy to disable flow control at start. I have a 1G ethernet switch connected
to Phy and the phy always enable flow control. I would like to configure the
phy not to flow control. Is that possible and if yes, what should I do in the
my Ethernet driver to tell the Phy not to enable flow control?
