The card does appear >to be working normally. You have a really old fxp card that uses a serial interface (indicated by the "10Mbps" part above), and has no MII of any sort. Thus there is no need for miibus in this case. The point of miibus is to provide a uniform interface to the various PHY chips so that the fxp driver does not have to be updated every time a new PHY comes out. Your board is working normally. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
