>Description:
The NSLU kernel will fail to find the associated PHYs. The
attached patch fixes this for both me, and for the user in
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2009-April/001649.html
The patch also removes the PHY/MAC hints for npe1 - all that is required
is the single "at" hint, and not the full config.
While here, fix a comment.
>How-To-Repeat:
Presumably, just try booting on an NSLU2.
