Some comments, I'm not very phy-knowledgeable so bear with me
(hopefully PHY maintainers can correct me, too).

I'm not actually sure myself what the semantics of port type advertise
bits are, but if this is fiber why advertise TP and do you really have
BNC connectors? :S

You say 100Base-FX, yet you advertise 100Base-T?

Please keep reverse xmas tree ordering.
