Hello Richard,

    I encountered such problem once, when I worked on this driver, but it
disappeared after I've booted to FreeBSD. I think the phy initialization
code I wrote needs to be enhanced. Indeed it seems (from the FreeBSD
sources) that some phys are bugged and need to be inited with special
sequence. I would suggest you to check first if your board has such phy.

    Regards,
    Phil.
