GD82559ER — Networkin g Silicon
The PHY unit supports four technologies:
To detect the correct technology, the two register fields, technology ability and technology priority, should be ANDed together to obtain the highest common denominator. This value should then be used to map into a priority resolution table used by the MAC driver to use the appropriate technology.
The PHY unit automatically determines the speed of the link either by using Parallel Detect or
