Hey folks,

Running a -STABLE kernel on a new machine, I get this on boot-up:

..
vx0 <3COM 3C905 Fast Etherlink XL PCI> rev 0 int a irq 10 on pci0:15
mii[*mii*]: disable 'auto select' with DOS util! address 00:60:08:3e:08:66
vga0 <VGA-compatible display device> rev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:16
...


What's this "mii" bit about?  The ethernet card is a combo 10/100 card, I
believe, so I presume this means I should set it manually to run on '10'.
What are the consequences of not doing this?  I don't have a DOS partition
right now I can do this with...

Wondering,


Brian
