hiii bestie 💖 you're reading MLPHY(4), the page from the Kernel Interfaces Manual for the MicroLinear 6692 Ethernet PHY. short, iconic, and fully fact-checked 🫶 no cap.

💖 NAME 💖

mlphy — MicroLinear 6692 Ethernet PHY ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mlphy* at mii?

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the mlphy driver supports MicroLinear 6692 10/100 Ethernet PHYs. that's the main character energy right there 💅

the MicroLinear PHY only supports 100baseTX operation, but it can advertise 10baseT operation for a possible companion PHY. the way that's literally the whole description... lowkey obsessed 🎀

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl, this is the messy bit 🙈 the OUI and device identification of the MicroLinear 6692 PHY are undefined, and so mlphy only attaches to tl(4) devices using the tlphy(4) as companion PHY. that's not a vibe check fail, that's just how it is — periodt 💀

mwah 💋 signing off with the footer deets: source/version Debian, date March 28, 2011 🫶 MLPHY(4) out, bestie 💜
