Re: Adding PHY driver to 5.1 release

[Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau%entel.upc.edu@localhost>]

Hello,

I don't know if this will help you, but have you tried setting the
media manually, like:

ifconfig wm0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex

If this doesn't help, you can always try current, which may contain
updated drivers for your card.

Regards, Roger.
