RE: [microblaze-uclinux] Ethernet link loss - External MAC/PHY selection



Jim,
How told you this. We are designing in the 91C111 and there was no
indication of it being obsoleted. SMSC as of today has not indicated the
status change.

Hi Tim,

Will probably be using a SMSC LAN...9115, or one in that family
(LAN9115-LAN9118).  The LAN91C111 is being obsoleted, I've been told.
