If you're referring to picking up the appropriate controller/phys (skc
and eephy for this card), dmassage handles all that automagically.  On
the other hand, I might take some time next week to compile a kernel
to see if the problem is related to one of the other phys being needed
(brgphy and xmphy are referenced).

Agreed, but I'm building -stable anyways and figure "why not?"  I know
better than to expect support for it.  I'll see if I can find the time
to experiment some more and/or peruse the code for hints.

Thanks.
