device bcm not in GENERIC

Hi all

Been following the development of this driver (Broadcom 4401X);
Kernel Compile failed because bcm is not listed in GENERIC, and a manual 
make in sys/modules/bcm fails with:

[root@roxanne: bcm] # make
Warning: Object directory not changed from original /usr/src/sys/modules/bcm
make: don't know how to make miidevs.h. Stop

[root@roxanne: bcm] # uname -a
FreeBSD roxanne.webcraft99.net 4.9-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.9-PRERELEASE #1: 
Mon Sep 29 14:26:21 MYT 2003 
aeefyu@roxanne.webcraft99.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ROXANNE  i386

Or am i missing something?

Cheers

Do you have 'device miibus' in your kernel configuration?

Yes, the bcm driver is not for -stable. This is a FAQ.

Please search the mail archives for pointers to the bfe driver and patches
to it for -stable.

bcm is not being developed - it merged with the bfe driver before the bfe
driver was commited.

Also, these exist for bcm.
