Linux PHYs don't have this state. auto-neg is either ongoing, or has completed. There is no time limit for auto-neg. If there is no link partner, auto-neg does not fail, it just continues until there is a link partner which responds and negotiation completes. Looking at the state diagrams in 802.3 clause 28, what do you consider as failure? Andrew
