Which kernel version are you using?
LAN8720 PHY should be included since 2.6.30.

You may have to write your own driver for u-boot and linux kernel.

Hi!

u-boot works fine with LAN8720 PHY. I had to disable the PA16 pull-up during PHY reset and u-boot began to find it. Tftp tested - worked fine!

Anyway I can tell that brand new SODIMM module based on AT91SAM9G45 begins to breathe :)
