Reporting success with FreeBSD on Netgear WNDR3700

Mon Aug 16 01:19:49 UTC 2010

Hello Luiz,

Booting over nfs would be ideal
Now, I can get both interfaces up though with still the wrong mac address
arge0=0x0e
arge1=0x22

Regards,
Youri

Youri,

The phy mask 0xa0 is the same as (0x80 | 0x20) and this is a multi-phy setting, 
you'll get better media status when using only one phy, can you try it with 0x20 
? (that's probably the correct one).

The MAC address comes from bootloader (as a command line arg or environment 
variable), you have to find out what is the method used for your router.

If the RTL switch is supported as a basic/generic PHY (like ukphy), you can try 
the arge0 with a multi-phy mask like 0x0f (or 0x1f) and check if something comes 
up.

Now you can boot it over nfs :)
