i could not find it in U-Boot, and i google to see that there is something about it in a linux. anyone use this chip for ethernet? how do you solve it in U-boot?
thank you.

It depends, which Ethernet controller are you hooking this PHY up to?

it is connected to Tsi109 from Tundra.
Well, U-boot has support for Tundra Tsi108, which is hopefully very similar to the Tsi109. The Tsi108 driver does all its own PHY handling (i.e. doesn't use the miiphyutil infrastructure) and currently only supports the Marvell 88e1111 PHY.
The good news is that modern PHYs are pretty standards-compliant, and it should be pretty easy for you to get the BCM5461 working.
Also, *** PLEASE *** don't e-mail me privately without including the U-boot list. There are lots of other people that can add perspective.
regards,
Ben

I'm not sure about U-Boot, but from a Linux kernel perspective, Tsi108 and Tsi109 are the same.
