However, as of Sun Sep 10 19:51:07 2000 UTC, the driver was converted to use newbus and miibus. See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/if_tx.c and refer to revision 1.34.2.3. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Comment out 'device miibus' in GENERIC 2. config <kernel> 3. cd to compile directory and 'make depend'. The following error is then received: ../../pci/if_tx.c:80: miibus_if.h: No such file or directory mkdep: compile failed *** Error code 1 >Fix: Move 'device tx' line from current section (#PCI Ethernet NICs) to MII Bus section (#PCI Ethernet NICs that use common MII bus controller code.) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
