Subject: Re: [RFC/PATCH] e100 driver didn't support any MII-less PHYs...

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply!

OK, here's part 1, the MII-less support stuff.
(preliminary posting, for review only)

Note that these diffs apply to 2.6.24-rc6-mm1 without much trouble,
thus might want to do -mm testing soon.
