The requirement for `device pci' looks like an unfortunate side effect of this commit which can almost certainly be fixed. I haven't looked too closely yet, but your earlier message to -current suggests that it is a problem with the existing `dcphy' mii driver. I'll look into this later. Regarding the bloat caused by adding `device mii', which is currently around 60k, it would be nice if it was possible to compile in only the necessary miibus drivers. Maybe NetBSD has something to offer here, since their miibus code has changed substantially since it was imported to FreeBSD. Another approach would be to make MII support optional in the ed driver.
