+ Several KPI breaking changes have been committed to the mii(4) layer,
+ the PHY drivers and consequently some Ethernet drivers using mii(4).
+ This means that miibus.ko and the modules of the affected Ethernet
+ drivers need to be recompiled.
+
+ Note to kernel developers: Given that the OUI bit reversion problem
+ was fixed as part of these changes all mii(4) commits related to OUIs,
+ i.e. to sys/dev/mii/miidevs, PHY driver probing and vendor specific
+ handling, no longer can be merged verbatim to stable/8 and previous
+ branches.
