IIRC, "MII" stands for media-independent interface. Anyway, it's required for several types of ethernet adapters--in fact just the ones it's listed with in GENERIC--and has nothing whatsoever to do with CD drives. There is nothing in GENERIC that would suggest such a connection. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
