hi,

i'm trying to get my netgear GA-621 (fiber-optic gigabit ethernet) working
under netbsd-current (1.6D, i386).  i have a patch from jason thorpe which
appears to enable the card, but ifconfig -m reveals no availiable media.  

the ten-bit interface is handled externally by the gentbi device
(src/sys/dev/mii/gentbi.c)  however, this device does not get loaded on boot.  

i have included gentbi* at mii? phy? in my kernel config.

is there anything i need to do to force this device to load?  or am i missing
the point entirely?
