Wasn't there a discussion on something like this ages ago?
I seem to recall somebody suggesting MD5 checksums to see if a file
has changed or not and acting acordingly.

If you're worried about maintaining a database of checksums,
why not place it in the file itself.  Of course somebody'll mention
recursion: if you grep -v CHECKSUM | md5 and compare with grep CHECKSUM,
you've got something that works and is easy to maintain.

Just my 2p worth :)

HELP! MII problem

Hi folks,

Please find attached the dmesg output from a "boot -v".

I've got an Aztel PCI NIC-Hub Adapter.  FreeBSD seems to find
it and configure it for the most part:

wb0:  port 0xec00-0xec7f mem
0xffafef80-0xffafefff irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0
wb0: Ethernet address: 00:00:e8:21:8b:11

... but then fails with:

device_probe_and_attach: wb0 attach returned 6

I've done some investigation (see my own debug lines in the dmesg)
and have tracked it down to a failure in MII to initalise the PHY.

Can anybody shed any light on why FreeBSD finds the card but not
the PHY and also how to fix it!

Stewart.
