7.3.6.2 IEEE Power-Down

IEEE power-down switch disables all DP83C8201Fx circuitry except the SMI and internal clock circuitry.

IEEE power-down switch can be activated by register access. To enable IEEE power-down switch through the SMI, set bit[11] = 1 in the Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR, address 0x0000).
