Rob,
Thanks for the answers. But I'm still confused.

Clause 8.3.1 last paragraph, second sentence says:=20

The state machine shall transition to the PL_PM1:Idle state from any
other state after receiving a Phy Enabled confirmation from any phy
assigned to the port. (I assume PL_PM should be PL_OC in the preceding
sentence)

Clause 8.3.2.1 second and third paragraphs say:

This state shall send a Transmission Status (No Phys In Port)
confirmation in response to each new Transmit Frame request.

Upon entry, this state shall send a Transmission Status (No Phys In
Port) confirmation for each queued request.

Why if the Phy is Enabled would it send a Transmission Status (No Phys
In Port)? What am I missing here?

Thanks,=20
