[En-Nut-Discussion] Detecting disconnet of the network cable

[Addisu Z. Taddese]

Is it not possible to use the Network Status Register of the Ethernet PHY.
I am sure there are other registers that you can access through MII.  The
data sheet also shows that pin 78 is Cable Link Status Output.

Hope that helps,
Addisu
