	I've just added the Intel PRO/100 VM to the list of recognised
	fxp interfaces, and upon first boot it reported:

fxp0 at pci2 dev 8 function 0: Intel PRO/100 VM Network Controller, rev 65
fxp0: interrupting at irq 10
fxp0: WARNING: Disabling dynamic standby mode in EEPROM to work around a
fxp0: WARNING: hardware bug.  You must reset the system before using this
fxp0: WARNING: interface.
fxp0: new EEPROM ID: 0x4080
fxp0: EEPROM checksum @ 0x3f: 0x866e -> 0x8670
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:c0:9f:08:a0:25
ukphy0 at fxp0 phy 1: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface
ukphy0: i82562EM 10/100 media interface (OUI 0x005500, model 0x0032), rev. 0
ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

	Now I know disabling dynamic standby mode is a Good Thing for
	random desktops which may not play well with fxp cards, but on
	an HP omnibook 6100 am I going to be burning more power than
	necessary?
