Not sure if this is a design implementation or an oversight. Current kernel uses if_xl and if_dc, kldstat -v reports (relevant sections): 30 xl/miibus 31 pci/if_xl 32 dc/miibus 33 pci/if_dc miibus section: 36 miibus/rlphy 37 miibus/tlphy 38 miibus/pnphy 39 miibus/nsphy 40 miibus/mlphy 41 miibus/xlphy 42 miibus/dcphy 43 miibus/amphy 44 miibus/ukphy Not sure if this is the way it's supposed to be, but seeing as how I don't use any of those other interfaces, I don't see why those miibus modules are loaded in the first place for interfaces not compiled into the kernel. Relevant kernel config sections: device miibus # MII bus support device dc # DEC/Intel 21143 and various workalikes device xl # 3Com 3c90x PCI 10/100 relevant dmesg output: dc0: <LC82C115 PNIC II 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe400-0xe4ff mem 0xe4001000-0xe40010ff irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0 dc0: Ethernet address: 00:a0:cc:32:eb:7c miibus0: <MII bus> on dc0 dcphy0: <Intel 21143 NWAY media interface> on miibus0 dcphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto xl0: <3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xe800-0xe87f mem 0xe4000000-0xe400007f irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0 xl0: Ethernet address: 00:50:da:cc:f3:e0 miibus1: <MII bus> on xl0 xlphy0: <3c905C 10/100 internal PHY> on miibus1 xlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto >How-To-Repeat: Compile a 4.0 kernel and enable miibus and specific network interfaces which use the miibus driver. >Fix: Again, unsure if this is intentional or not, so I dunno. Haven't tried unloading those modules either. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
