The good news is that I think I've found the problem (at least I've fixed my vr(4) nic and an fxp nic works). The bad news is that I broke all the MII based drivers so it's going to take a while longer to fix (though I hope to do it tonight.) The problem is that I didn't notice the device_get_softc(<parent>) calls in mii.c that were being cast to ifnet pointers. As a result, all mii based drivers ended up with mii_ifp values that were actually softcs. I've committed a hack to get the ifp from the softc by dereferencing the softc pointer. I now need to audit all miibus users and make sure they call if_alloc() before mii_phy_probe(). Once I've done that, I need to work on modifying the mii_phy_probe() API to include the ifp so I can get rid of the evil casts. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
