The 3c900-combo does not have an MII transceiver.
The transceiver doesn't even do autonegotiation, so I didn't write code
to emulate MII management register.  It could be done (except for
forcing 10base2 or AUI), it just hasn't been written.

Your near-term solution is to remove the forced-full-duplex setting from
the EEPROM.
