questions about AppleGMACEthernet driver source code

greetings,

i recently acquired a 1.25 gHz titanium powerbook G4
that i have been testing my ethernet audio hardware
device driver on (under 10.2.8). However I've
encountered a problem:

When I load the AppleGMACEthernet kernel extension
that comes with 10.2.8 (version 1.3b15) on the new
powerbook, the I/O registry explorer reports that the
PHY type is a "Marvell 88E1111" and networking works
fine.

When I built my own copy of the same version of the
AppleGMACEthernet extension (from the source code
available from apple), the PHY type is identified as
"Unknown" and the ethernet port doesn't work. There
is no reference to the 88E1111 PHY chip anywhere in
the source code (there are references to the 88E1011
chip though). whats going on?? it seems like the
"open source" driver available from apple doesn't
correspond to the driver that actually comes with the
OS.

Can anyone shed some light on this situation or
maybe suggest another forum where someone might be
able to answer this question ? or tell me where i can
get the source code to an AppleGMACEthernet driver
that supports the Marvell 88E1111 PHY chip ?

thanks in advance

-rimas
