If they'd only implement the mii-diags I would just use theirs...

Do you think you've fixed this? If so, I'll give your version a try...

I get all kinds of crap on the pre11 build with the eepro100, but only
on one of my 4 Intel NICs. The driver messages call it an 82557, but the
chip says 82559. I'm not sure if that is significant or not...
