Hmm.  Interestingly, I don't see any PHY in the verbose dmesg
output from the 9-current driver.  Maybe I should merge the
brgphy driver from 9-current to the 8-stable machine, too.
I'll try that tomorrow.
(But shouldn't there be a warning message if bge attaches
without any PHY?)

In the (non-verbose) output using the 8-stable driver, the
following appears in dmesg:

miibus0: <MII bus> on bge0
brgphy0: <BCM5714 10/100/1000baseTX PHY> PHY 1 on miibus0
brgphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT, 1000baseT-FDX, auto

The symptom is the same in either case, though:
ifconfig displays "status: no carrier".

Best regards
