Anybody with >> ideas? >> Yeah, sorry for the delay... It's been a while since the last boot of my RB433UAH, so my kernel and hints are not really updated. But back then, i have this setup for the PHYs: # arge0 hint.arge.0.at="nexus0" hint.arge.0.maddr=0x19000000 hint.arge.0.msize=0x1000 hint.arge.0.irq=2 # PHY0, PHY1 hint.arge.0.phymask=0x03 # arge1 hint.arge.1.at="nexus0" hint.arge.1.maddr=0x1A000000 hint.arge.1.msize=0x1000 hint.arge.1.irq=3 # PHY4 hint.arge.1.phymask=0x10 Note that on RB433,RB450 the wan port is connected to arge1 and not to arge0 as usually, so you need to adjust your bootp setup. In order to keep the original mac address you'll the following patch: http://loos.no-ip.org/rb/routerboot.diff and then add 'options AR71XX_ROUTERBOOT' to kernel file. The etherswitch doesn't support the switch chip on RB433 right now, but i'm working on this. Luiz
