# mlphy(4)

MicroLinear 6692 Ethernet PHY

## NAME

**mlphy** – MicroLinear 6692 Ethernet PHY

## SYNOPSIS

**mlphy\* at mii?**

## DESCRIPTION

The **mlphy** driver supports MicroLinear 6692 10/100 Ethernet PHYs. The MicroLinear PHY only supports 100baseTX operation but can advertise 10baseT operation for a possible companion PHY.

## SEE ALSO

[ifmedia(4)](/ifmedia/4.md), [intro(4)](/intro/4.md), [mii(4)](/mii/4.md), [ifconfig(8)](/ifconfig/8.md)

## BUGS

The OUI and device identification of the MicroLinear 6692 PHY are undefined and so **mlphy** only attaches to [tl(4)](/tl/4.md) devices using the [tlphy(4)](/tlphy/4.md) as companion PHY.
