The power supplies needing power before you can actually read the ID registers are the same for all the variations? The RTL8366s has a serdes power supply while the RTL8370 does not. Maybe that doesn't matter as the PHYs probably don't need power to access registers, but I didn't look at more than 2 datasheets. If there's *any* differences in power sequencing then you need specific compatibles. Rob
