dc driver uses the miibus code, make sure you have that enabled on your kernel.
There is nothing needed in "sysinstall", a device probe ought to catch it IF the miibus is enabled in your kernel config..... Sorry, I'm late on this discussion, if I've missed important points, please forgive....I just hadn't seen this point mentioned.

BTW, if it asks you if you want to activate now, that typically will not get you the new parameters on the interface, youll need to either ifconfig it down and then up, or reboot as a quik& dirty way.
