Re: Only 100baseTX with bge BCM5722

Actually, I jumped the gun because I'm going BCM crazy at work!  :D!

David asked the right question:  The dmesg output shows that this is
using ukphy not brgphy.  The ukphy I believe uses mostly the common
MII code.  At attach time it does try to read the right hardware bits
to parse what the PHY supports.

I noticed from your output it does support 1000baseT and 1000baseTX-FDX.

Have you used either of these in your ifconfig call with any luck?

Sorry bout that,
