You need to read PHY_BSR register (1) and check bit 3 ... this is the link 
status. This is what I am doing in a task.
The reason for doing the above is that a PHY with RMII has no link interrupt 
and the simplest way is to read the
basic status register.

Do you have a fully functional driver and initialize code that works for you ?

Subject: [lwip-users] how to set the link up

I haveKSZ8081RNACA as phy that has to be polled (interrupt signal is not
routed)

In LWIP documentation I read:

- netif_set_link_up(struct netif *netif)

   This is the hardware link state; e.g. whether cable is plugged for wired
   Ethernet interface. This function must be called even if you don't know
   the current state. Having link up and link down events is optional but
   DHCP and IPv6 discover benefit well from those events.

- netif_set_up(struct netif *netif)

   This is the administrative (= software) state of the netif, when the
   netif is fully configured this function must be called.


So I understand that netif_set_link_up() has to be called from phy driver? and 
what about netif_set_up()?


best regads
