Kicking the chip *hard* when probing can do wonders. :-)
The attached patch fixes MII detection for me, reliably. It's the same
thing my BSDI driver does. The patch is against the previous version I
sent to the list; it applies almost cleanly to 2.4.1-vanilla and the
reject is easy to apply manually.
Full patch (for Jeff) will follow later.

It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool,
