Interesting.  It would really be something if your devices happen to
work better with 0.  Wouldn't make much sense at all unfortunately.  If
0 works, could you also try setting it to 2 or 3?  The PHY select value
is a bit field with the 0 bit being to select the onboard PHY, and 1 bit
being to 'auto-select' the PHY based on link status.  The data sheet
indicates that 3 should be the default, but all of the literature I have
seen from ASIX says to write a 1 to it.

And FWIW, that change for setting it to 1 fixed a bunch of broken
adapters, including mine.
