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?
