Hi,

The SIS 900 driver reports the following at boot:

eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 0.
eth0: Realtek RTL8201 PHY transceiver found at address 1.
eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 2.
eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 3.
eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 4.
eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 5.
eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 6.
...
eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 28.
eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 29.
eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 30.
eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 31.
eth0: Using transceiver found at address 31 as default
eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xcc00, IRQ 5, 00:a0:cc:d6:c4:01.

While the device is working fine, I think that the above
behavior is incorrect. The driver finds a known PHY but continues
to use the default (31). While this is fine for me (I only have 1 PHY)
this may cause problems later.

kern 2.4.20, sis900.c
  
Is this just a missing phy id? And surely if the PHY is unknown
the PHY info should not be added to the linked list?

Please CC to me, as I am not on the mailing list.

Cheers
    Caleb.
