Gee, too bad that's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than all other ethernet
drivers in the source tree that support multiple media connectors...

Not only that, it becomes impossible to tell (in software, from
user-land, without special hacks) N weeks after you've booted you're
system, which connector you're using...  (syslogs age out, and dmesg
accumulates...)
