Hi, The current CDCE ethernet driver does not support PHY's. The other ethernet drivers, like if_axe, which does USB3.0 aswell, will get you a PHY. Have a look at sys/dev/usb/net in the source tree. Pardon my ignorance but what is PHY's? For the sake of those searching in the future, I ended up buying a TRENDnet TU2-ET100 and it is working fine. I didn't need the USB3.0 (or actually even have a 3.0 port) but it's what I happened to have. Hi, A PHY/miibus is the external interface of an ethernet adapter typically. It is what tells you about the line-rate and various options like full duplex, simplex and so on. --HPS ___ freebsd-usb@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-usb-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
