Can you tell me how to check if miibus is enabled and how to enable it if it is not?

There is nothing needed in "sysinstall", a device probe ought to catch it IF the miibus is enabled in your kernel config..... Sorry, I'm late on this discussion, if I've missed important points, please forgive....I just hadn't seen this point mentioned.

BTW, if it asks you if you want to activate now, that typically will not get you the new parameters on the interface, youll need to either ifconfig it down and then up, or reboot as a quik& dirty way.
