In the AT91-Ethernet-Driver is the parameter CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_ARM_AT91_PHYADDR. It should hold the MDC/MDIO-addres of the Ethernet-PHY. But no matter wich value i write, the lwIP sees my PHY every time. Furtermore the lwIP says, he find my PHY on the addr 0, while the datasheet of the PHY say's one can config the address between 1..7.Hi Oli
Now my quistions:
1. Is addr 0 a kind of broadcast and works with any PHY no matter how its configured?
2. Is it wrong, that if i set CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_ARM_AT91_PHYADDR to 7, the lwIP-initialisation says look at addr 0 (see printout)?

0 is indeed special. (I assume you mean a hostid of zero as e. g. in 192.168.1.0) I cite from Comer (2000,1995, 4th ed.)
"...an IP-adress with hostid portion equal to 0 is used to refere to the network itself."
and on the next page:
"...any address with the hostid consisting of all 1s is used for directed broadcast" (to the cor. network)
When debugging network traffic get wireshark from http://www.wireshark.org
