Re: Latest BenH kernel supports mixer on TiBook

Sorry, but no Gigabit here.... According to dmesg, my TiBook has a
Broadcom BCM5221 PHY, of which you can find the spec here:
http://www.broadcom.com/products/5221.html
Most interesting is that it has an auto-MDIX feature, i.e. it can detect
if RX and TX are inverted. So, no need for a crossover cable if you want
to connect the TiBook to another computer. Alas, it's only a 10/100
device; no Gigabit...
