I'm also using the FreeBSD 5.3 release, I tried to reinstall all the packages already.

Hi !
Well... I do have an ideea Smilie

miibus is required for some network cards to work. On the original GENERIC file you can find something like this:

Code:

# PCI Ethernet NICs that use the common MII bus controller code.
# NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in order to use these NICs!
device          miibus          # MII bus support

Probably when you "customized" your kernel for compilation, you deleted the "device miibus" line, but you leaved support for some network card that requires miibus. Try to insert the "device miibus" line in your file. It will probably work without any problems...
Good luck !
