I was hoping to get this system up and running this weekend. :( > There is one unresolved issue in re(4), some newer controllers does not respond to PHY access so re(4) fails to attach driver. If you can see a message like 'PHY write failed' in boot it indicates you're suffering from the issue. I have a local patch for this but it needs more testing as I don't have that hardware that exhibits the issue. Did you see the message? If you can't see 'PHY write failed' message during boot you might have a newer controller. Please post dmesg output for the case to add your device id to re(4). -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon
