Do you not like the name mii? Hi, sorry for not replying earlier. It was my understanding that on the hardware level of the networking devices we are using MII, but to control MII we use MDIO, don't we? So it seems to me that hardware could use MII but not MDIO, yet for this purpose we require MDIO. So could you please explain your reasoning about networking stuff? I do not want to create false impressions in users. Regards Oliver
