    Did you follow any of the "Next message" links? There is more to the
    discussion than that first page that I linked to.
    
    In that discussion we determined that the PHY was somehow setup with a
    non-zero register page setting. That was treated as a BIOS bug rather
    than a driver bug.
    
    If you're having the same problem, then it could be possible to explicitly
    set the default page to zero, but I'm not sure where that _should_ be done
    or if that is generally the correct/safe thing to do.

Aaron,
Ah sorry about that, I thought you were referring just to that particular post.
I’ll forward this along to the BIOS vendor.
Thanks,
