Subject: Question regarding handling PHY

Hi, I've got a question regarding phy drivers. Supposed that I want to
use an ethernet phy device - in general - do I need a specific driver
to handle this, or is it handled by some generic eth phy layer that
can configure (through MDIO) and exchange data (through XMII) in a
generic, vendor-agnostic way?

Best regards
Patryk
