I wonder how many of the developers hacking on gigabi-ethernet drivers
still have 10baseT networks to test?  I know I don't.  (OK, maybe I
have a transciever hidden in a pile of Decstations somewhere, but I
don't have any acutal 10baseT ports to connect it to.)

This may be an overly-naive approach, but since SMB says NetBSD-2.0
handled this better for him: has anyone tried the 2.0 makphy code with
the 3.0 wm driver?  Or vice-versa?
