Thanks for the quick reply.  I didn't mean to imply anything.  I
have one machine with a Winbond running current a week old, and
never saw the problem there.  I also notice that there have been
commits to a lot of the network interfaces recently, including wb.
In any case, I'm a bit stressed out over having broken cvsup-master,
so please forgive me if I clumsily gave offense.

OK, I did that and it made the SIOCSIFMEDIA message go away.  But
now it's not showing carrier:

Doing initial network setup: hostname domain.
wb0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 204.216.27.25 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 204.216.27.31
        ether 00:00:e8:18:5b:1d 
        media: 100baseTX status: no carrier
        supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP none

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
John
