I've replaced the generic PHY status poll with a custom one that uses = the switch registers instead of the PHYs. I've cloned your git and have = started adding my changes to it (branch also named work/ath): http://gitorious.org/~stb/freebsd/stb-adrianchadd-freebsd-work I tried a merge request, but gitorious didn't like it (at least at the = top level).
