I have cards like these:

  fxp1 at pci0 dev 20 function 0: Intel EtherExpress Pro 10+/100B Ethernet
  inphy1 at fxp1 phy 1: i82555 10/100 media interface, rev. 0
  inphy1: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

These cards also have problems at > 10Mbps, in that if I set them to
10Mbps they seem to switch to full duplex (but not know they did, so
packets are dropped and/or retransmitted) or something strange.
