Still no Xircom Realport in 5.1-REL?

[Aron Roberts]

Thanks! I switched to hw=.cbb.start_memory=0x20000000 (though any 
address around there that wasn't already spoken for seemed to work 
fine) and it started to probe until I got the lovely  "MII without any 
PHY" which I am currently searching for information on. I am testing 
the Intel Realport and it works great with the current settings. I 
could probably just keep the Intel card in there but something seems to 
be driving me to find out why the Xircom isn't working :)
