re0: PHY read failed

2011-11-17 Thread John Kotrla
this message is appearing hundreds of times. I don't use the device, so 
its more of a neatness thing but it also makes it difficult to use logs 
when this error pops up every single second.


It doesn't begin at boot, usually after a few hours. But if I do plug it 
into my router instead of using WiFi, it connects and works.

Compile it out of your kernel.  You should be able to do this by adding:

nodevice re

to your kernel config and rebuilding.

As to the actual problem it sounds like it might be a hardware issue.
(Good thing you're not using it.)
