Hi Andrew, thanks for the quick reply.
It does indeed have a Vitesse VSC8662, but the link never seems to
come up for me [1] so I have been using Generic PHY. I'll try look
at why that is. Either way would like to know what's gone wrong in
the Generic PHY case since that's what's available in the riscv
defconfig.

Thanks,
Conor.
