the program always stick in a infinite loop in below line :

while (ETH_GetSoftwareResetStatus () == SET)

( RMII Mode )

instead of using Port A.8  for

People here could help others, instead of loosing everybody time with useless posts.

Which is an awfully interesting insight from someone with 5 posts. You must be new here...

I generally think most of the problems posted could be solved by a more though reading of the manuals and source, and for the most part answers/suggestions posted often have more thought behind them, than the original question.

Anyway, here's the specific cite, with a link for the manual in question, so people don't have to waste time navigating the nightmare web site.

The mode, MII or RMII, is selected using the configuration bit 23, MII_RMII_SEL, in the AFIO_MAPR register. The application has to set the MII/RMII mode while the Ethernet controller is under reset or before enabling the clocks.
