Hi Arjan, how are you? i just saw this repository and i guess you will make an ext phy with 100mbit switch with the RTL8305. I am also working on a switch that i i would like to embed in my board for daisy chaining. I also ordered the RTL8305 for that reason, but then i catched the RTL8367 which is a QFN88 gigabit switch. I would go with the RTL8367 so we can send data with gigabit bandwith for large scale pixels. What do you think? I currently dont have time for developing the board, but if you switch to RTL8367, maybe i can already use your design.

You already did the board for RTL8305? Wow! Thats really great that you shared it now. Thanks so much, it saves me a lot of time for me now with those 8305's. Btw, do you think i can edit your board and replace the rtl8201 with lan8720 and will it work? I have a lots of 8720 here but none of the 8201. Is the reason you choose 8201 actually the cheap price right? Any other known advantages over 8720?
