Yeah, that's strange. I still have the debug values at hand: - I advertise 0x5e1 - I read in LPA 0xc9e1 from the switch (and my bcm PHY tells me Rx and Tx pause disabled in a separate register) Now, I cross-over with a TG3 and I get: - I advertise 0x5e1 (hopefully same value) - I read in LPA 0xc5e1 from the TG3 (and that other register tells me Rx and Tx pause can be enabled). > You should try to use flow control, even slower than 1000Mbit links. Sorry, not sure I parse ;-) You mean allowing pause on 10 and 100 as well ? I sure can, it's easy to fix. > That's the only problem I can see, would you mind fixing that and > I'll put your change into my net-2.6 tree and perhaps play around > with PAUSE on my switches here? Sure will do.
