Please > see my reply to your earlier thread. I tend to agree. Reading PHY registers happens quite often due to polling every second, so if there is a problem, this is where you see it. But how do you know the same issue does not appear somewhere else in the driver? Maybe add code to dump the ATU, poll it frequently, and see if any entries change unexpectedly? Andrew
