I don;t say that, but I do say this: With such a short deadline, you
should have hired an expert a couple of days (or weeks) ago.

This is unlogical. Instead of updating and fixing "the saveenv issue"
(whatever this is) you are using old code - where you now have to fix
"the PHY issue". Is this any better?

Maybe your haredware is not what you think it is?

I can't see any relationship between 0x01 and 0x03 and 10000 and 10001
(or 0:10 and 1:00 either).  Maybe you try these instead?
