Hi Masanobu and sorry for the delay. I had issues (again) with the mailserver.

I did as you suggested, commenting the line atphy* at mii? phy ? # Attansic/Atheros PHYs in /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC, recompiled and it works! Here you can find: - new dmesg, https://pastebin.com/UyEqRFs7 - new `ifconfig -a', https://pastebin.com/xHq2GZeJ For me it's ok this way. If there is something else that I can do, please let me know. If instead it's ok for you too, could you please include this modification in the kernel, so that -current and the next versions already have it? > Thanks in advance. Thanks to you for the suggestion, Rocky P.S.1 Some considerations/doubts: - Just out of curiosity, was it possible (as an alternative) to disable `atphy' with `userconf disable atphy' in boot(8)? I tried it in a VM with wm(4) NIC, which uses makphy(4): booting with `userconf disable makphy', ukphy(4) has been used instead of makphy(4) (and it works). - nfe(4) lists several mii(4) drivers (hope that they can be called this way): `ciphy', `icsphy', `makphy', `rlphy', but not `atphy'. So, I wonder: why `atphy' was called? - I am not sure about this, but according to the motherboard manual <https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socketAM2/M2N-MX_SE_Plus/E3353_M2N-MX_SE_PLUS.zip> this NIC should also support 1 Gbps transmission, so I guess 1000baseTX, but the dmesg lists only 10base* and 100base*. P.S.2 If anyone is interested, the atphy(4) driver has been excluded from the kernel as follows. I downloaded the NetBSD sources (kernel, tools, ...) for NetBSD 9.0 release using the procedure in this Chapter: <http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-fetch.html> with `cvs checkout -r netbsd-9-0-RELEASE -P src'. Then, as specified in <http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-kernel.html> I considered the GENERIC kernel configuration file for my architecture (amd64): /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC I copied it to a new file, MGENERIC and looked for `atphy' inside the file. The only line with this name is the one mentioned above: atphy* at mii? phy ? # Attansic/Atheros PHYs I commented it, and then compiled the kernel using the new configuration file: ./build.sh -j 3 -U tools kernel=MGENERIC (`-j' is related to the number of threads, it may be 50 % higher than the number of cores, which in my case is 2). Then, I installed and used the new kernel as instructed in par. 32.6 of the above chapter page. This same procedure can be followed to remove/tune any other feature in the kernel configuration file (GENERIC, or any other in the directory).
