Not in general. As I said, I haven't seen that on our boards yet and I
did a little bit of testing making sure that the fundamental code to
switch between frequencies works. I.e. on our zc706 and zc702 boards I
usually can use ethtool to force a certain speed on the interface and
Zynq adjusts to it just fine.

But as I said, it does rely on the divider being sourced with a
frequency that allows generating the required Ethernet clock by
adjusting the 6-bit divider only. If this requirement is not met,
I expect you may see issues like Olof posted.

Are you (Andreas/Olof) using the same bootloaders?

I hope that helps.
