 First of all, please add the "gentbi" driver to your kernel (it's a PHY 
 driver; I guess I've forgotten to add it to GENERIC).
 
 Secondly, I had a GA621 for a while, and was not able to get it 
 working.  I no longer have access to that hardware.
 
 I would very much appreciate if you could try and track down the 
 problem.
