some NIC drivers require a bus controller driver. there's a whole group
of (primarily PCI) nics that need the MII bus driver. there's a group of
three lines in your kernel config file:

# PCI Ethernet NICs that use the common MII bus controller code.
# NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in order to use these
# NICs!
device		miibus		# MII bus support

make sure that the "device miibus" line is NOT commented out! uncomment
it, rerun config, and you'll run smooth.
