I think the second MAC just misses its PHY, a fix for this has been commited upstream [1] and will be backported soon. > > I'm probably going to run into similar problems as you are: the NAS200 > would be a profile of the RDC target but I'll need some stuff that's not > part of the base target, such as the fdisk or cfdisk programs because the > NAS200 has a SATA controller, and there's some other stuff in the default > target/profile that I don't need/want, like network bridging and firewall. Such things can also be added in the target profile by overriding the DEFAULT_PACKAGES variable.
