You mean .90k? And Doug Eadlines posted patch? YEs, saw that, thanks.

However, it doesn't work on the Alpha, hence the diag posting, in the hope
that Donald or someone can see what the problem is.

Please note the entertaining part where the diag says:
 ***WARNING***: No MII transceivers found!

And yet the driver says:
eth0:  MII transceiver found at MDIO address 1, config 1000 status 782d

So, we are scratching our heads a bit..
BTW, just to get the diag to run we had to patch a bit, see yesterdays
posting on this topic..
