I've now set aside hardware to build on and have been reading up on CVS. More than one file is involved because 'mii_phy_activate' is defined outside of acphy.c so the build stops there. I can see how to roll back the one file (acphy.c) but not how to identify the others that were part of the same commit. How do I spot which file(s) to try from that commit? Regards, /Lars
