Sam7 and DM9161 ethernet link problem

[Fjolle]

Hi guys.
I'm working with a board based on the netduino plus design with a sam7 and a dm9161 PHY.
I have troubles getting Ethernet link. I can communicate wkth the PHY without any problems, but nothing happens when I insert a cable.
The only difference is that the magnetics are built into the connector, but the specs of the magnetics are the same.
Have any of you guys had any with that problem, or ideas for solving it?

Thanks in advance.

Is the green LED on? If not, check if the PHY is powered up propperly.

I am having this exact same issue with the SAM9. I have verified that the green and yellow LEDs turn on when I plug the ethernet cable in, but when I try to run the init function, which includes the following auto-negotiation routine, the lights turn off and the system crashes.
