 # MII/PHY support
 makphy*        at mii? phy ?                   # Marvell Semiconductor 88E1000 PHYs
+rgephy* at mii? phy ?                   # Realtek 8169S/8110S/8211 PHYs

I threw in all these, since they were in the sheeva config. Don't see
any messages from them. makphy was in the MARVELL_NAS config to start
with.

That's perfectly fine. Thank you. It's nice to know there's known
problems and not just mysteries. It's not exactly a current or important
device either for me. Just an interesting experiment.


I also have a Synology DS207+ but that is missing several useful uboot
commands. Only hope for it would seem to be TFTP.

Slightly different hardware, but might as well try that if I get around
to setting up a boot server.
