PHY_CONNECT(9)                        Network device support                       PHY_CONNECT(9)



NAME
       phy_connect - connect an ethernet device to a PHY device

SYNOPSIS
       struct phy_device * phy_connect(struct net_device * dev, const char * bus_id,
                                       void (*handler) (struct net_device *),
                                       phy_interface_t interface);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
           the network device to connect

       bus_id
           the id string of the PHY device to connect

       handler
           callback function for state change notifications

       interface
           PHY device's interface

DESCRIPTION
       Convenience function for connecting ethernet devices to PHY devices. The default behavior
       is for the PHY infrastructure to handle everything, and only notify the connected driver
       when the link status changes. If you don't want, or can't use the provided functionality,
       you may choose to call only the subset of functions which provide the desired
       functionality.
