You actually have different "instance" numbers for each of the duplicate
media that you have to specify in order for the MII code to select the
right one.

802.3u doesn't specify HomePNA.  HomePNA PHYs present a 10baseT capability,
and it is the responsibility of host software to detect that the PHY is
a HomePNA model, and map that to a HomePNA cabaility for the user's
convenience.
