  | Wow. If I boot up with the cable unplugged, it boots up fine and the phy
  | gets all the possible media types:

  | pcn0 at pci1 dev 5 function 0: AMD PCnet-PCI Ethernet
  | pcn0: Am79c971 PCnet-FAST rev 5, Ethernet address 00:60:94:57:3b:b9
  | pcn0: interrupting at irq 14
  | nsphy0 at pcn0 phy 1: DP83840 10/100 media interface, rev. 1
  | nsphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
  |

Does the interface actually work after you configure it?
