Hi, Static analysis with CoverityScan has detected an issue in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/e1000_hw.c, function e1000_config_mac_to_phy() as follows: case e1000_phy_8201: ret_val = e1000_read_phy_reg(hw, PHY_CTRL, &phy_data); if (ret_val) return ret_val; if (phy_data & RTL_PHY_CTRL_FD) ctrl |= E1000_CTRL_FD; else ctrl &= ~E1000_CTRL_FD; if (phy_data & RTL_PHY_CTRL_SPD_100) ctrl |= E1000_CTRL_SPD_100; else ctrl |= E1000_CTRL_SPD_10; e1000_config_collision_dist(hw); break; phy_data is a u16, however, RTL_PHY_CTRL_SPD_100 is 0x200000 and so the bitwise and of phy_data & RTL_PHY_CTRL_SPD_100 is always zero, so ctrl can never be set to the 100Mb speed. Detected by CoverityScan, CID#140032 ("Operand's don't affect result"). Colin
