Subject: [oc] Question on Ethernet MAC 10/100 Mbps
It's possible that I'm confused instead. In the designes I've worked on,
MIIM = MII Management, which is the little 2-wire interface that the MAC
uses to talk to the PHY. It's used to configure the PHY, it's *not* used to
try and get the PHY to send specific data packets.
However, the original poster may have meant that MIIM = MII Media, which
would be the data interface between MAC and PHY.
How I read the original post was that the poster wanted to push data in
through the host CPU interface to get the MAC to send some special
CPU-defined packet. I guess the other way to read it is that he wanted to
send info through the host data interface, which of course would be the
right way to do things.
