hiya, I think the 4322 is a newer PHY which we don't have support for yet (PHY-HT?). I think I tested the 4321 and that worked. It's waiting for new bus code from landon, and then when that's done, I'll finish the PHY port and we can test. -adrian On 18 November 2016 at 12:12, Andy Mender <andymenderunix@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Adrian, > > I specifically rebuild that port after upgrading my kernel.
