Probably not.  Thanks for pointing this out.

Good point.  I guess we should check the whole driver over for that.

Thanks for pointing this out.  Seeing as this code is a ripoff of e1000, 
hacked up by Attansic, and then heavily reworked by Jay and I, there are 
some stylistic differences, but we'll try to make it more consistent.

I blame Attansic.

Thanks.  There are a lot of ifdefs that we're not sure are always 
defined.  Removing those would make this code much easier to review. 
More eyes on those ifdefs would be appreciated.

I decided to mostly leave this code alone, in the hope that we could 
just rip out MII support entirely and nobody would mind.  What do you think?
