Hi Experts,
I have been make one of the windows ethernet driver functional.In this
driver we have an ethernet MAC chip and an external add on cards(ex:Gearbox
and field cards) as PHY’s. MDIO (management device input output) bus is
used to connect an ethernet MAC with the PHY.
I have observed that in Linux device driver,they use ‘mdiobus_register’ API
to set the communication channel between MAC and the PHY. Can anyone please
let me know if there are any windows driver API which is equivalent to
‘mdiobus_register’.
I wanted to know how windows network ethernet driver establishes its
communication with the external PHY’s.
What is the mechanism used for this?
Thanks and Regard,
Sachin
