Um, he can't "enable" miibus in the kernel from sysinstall(8), can he? I don't know that miibus is in the distribution kernel or not, if /modules/miibus.ko is likewise available, nor if you can activate modules from sysinstall(8). I don't recall any difficulties with sysinstall(8) when I brought up this box with Linksys NICs (Realtek chipsets, which also use dc(1)). Otherwise, you point out that which I'd forgotten.
