A full upgrade to >2.2.6 is planed soon, but I need this fixed sooner. Unfortunately, that's not possible due to the substantial differences that came in with Jason Thorpe's "if_media" support. You might be able to retrofit just the part of the driver that does the PHY frobbing, however (although you'll have to convert it back to using IFF flags). Good luck. :-) -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
