# 1.7 28-Feb-2006 jsg

We need to special case ciphy to ask for RGMII interface at 2.5V for nfe.
This makes Cicada/Vitesse PHYs attached to nfe work.
Many thanks to Bill Paul for diagnosing the problem and suggesting a solution.

Tested by otto@, ok deraadt@


# 1.6 27-Feb-2006 jsg

There apears to be a problem with nfe+ciphy that prevents
the interface from being useable. Mention this a known problem.

There are systems with nfe attaching icsphy in the wild.

# 1.3 12-Feb-2006 jsg

The ukphy attachment turned out to be an rlphy(4) clone.
