1. Your mail address bounced my attempt at a private reply. 2. Building a kernel with config is not officially supported. It's at your risk and may not work in all cases. Build a kernel with: cd /usr/src make buildkernel 3. You need "device mii" if you have any network device that uses it and most do. 4. If you update sources, you need to build both world and kernel. (See /usr/src/UPDATING near the end.) If sources are not changes, just re-build the kernel. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
