Hi, everyone

I'm trying to connect ethernet with AT91SAM9260.
My board uses DM9161A as a ethernet transceiver.

The u-boot ethernet initialization routine runs auto-negotiation,
it works fine.  Ethernet controller of AT91SAM9260
(MACB0) receives Auto negotiation completion bit
from DM9161A status register.

But status registor of DM9161A returns "Invalid link status",
so u-boot prints "eth0 link down".

When does the "invalid link status" situation happen?
How can I fix this problem?
I connected the ethernet with PC by cross ethernet cable.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
J.Hwan Kim
