What driver version?  (I think you'll find that it's not my release, but
rather a modified driver.)

Errm, is that deliberate?

Try using the release from scyld.com

mkdir /tmp/netdrivers/
cd /tmp/netdrivers/
ncftpget ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdrivers.tgz
tar xfvz netdrivers.tgz
make
make install

If that fixes the problem, Bogdan or Andrew should verify that the
driver in the kernel correctly records the MII-setting ioctl() data.
