Good to know this is useful.

Ok.

Look at chapter "4.11 PHY Address strapping and LED Output Polarity
Selection" of the LAN8700 manual. It says the PHY address is selected
according to the value on pins PHYAD[0:4] during PHY reset. So you
should check your board schematics and see how these pins are wired to
find out what is the PHY address.

Best regards,

Thomas
