I assume this is an nsphy?  

We have a couple of those here and are still having troubles with
them.  The move to phys between 1.3 branch and 1.4 branch broke something,
because anything above 1.3.3 we have to hard code to 100Hdx, and
autonegotiation doesn't work much at all.  I have yet to try
1.5_ALPHA... I'll be able to set that up hopefully within the week.

But yes, this _was_ a problem and had been bug-reported, but closed when
only some of the affected parties felt it to be fixed.  We've had problems
with it since, just haven't said anything because the machine in question
was still 1.3.3 and we've been able to get by alright.

I'll try and send out some more detailed tests when I'm able.  What sorts
of things do you need to see?
