This is my fault. The dcphy and pnphy drivers do ugly things to grab hold of their parent devices, which are PCI. You should be able to compile the miibus module without these two PHY drivers to eliminate the dependency on the pci bus code. Is it possible to set dcphy.c and pnphy.c to be dependent on 'device dc' in /sys/conf/files? You can't use them with anything except the dc driver, so if you don't have that in your kernel, you don't need these. Unfortunately that doesn't help the miibus.ko module... unless I compile the pnphy and dcphy drivers as part of the if_dc.ko module instead. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
