This works fine, except, a lot of the responses I get back follow something
like this:

tulip-diag.c:v1.04 8/10/98 Donald Becker (becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)
Chip Index #1: Found a DC21140 Tulip card at PCI bus 0, device 12 I/O
0xb800.
Digital DS21140 Tulip chip registers at 0xb800:
  ffa04800 ffffffff ffffffff 00fff820 00fffa20 fc660000 320e2002 ffffebef
  e0000000 fffd83ff ffffffff fffe0000 ffffff80 ffffffff 1c09fdc0 fffffec8
 The Rx process state is 'Waiting for packets'.
 The Tx process state is 'Idle'.
Transmit started, Receive started, half-duplex.
 The transmit threshold is 128.
 Port selection is MII, half-duplex.
EEPROM transceiver/media description for the DC21140 chip.

Leaf node at offset 30, default media type 0800 (Autosense).
 CSR12 direction setting bits 00.
 1 transceiver description blocks:
   MII interface PHY 0 (media type 11).
 MII PHY found at address 0, status 0x782d.
 MII PHY #0 transceiver registers:
   1000 782d 7810 0000 01e1 0021 0000 0000
   0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
   0000 0000 4000 0000 26bb 0010 0000 0002
   0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000.

`Port selection is MII, half-duplex.` This doesn't tell me which media speed
the NIC is working at only that it is at half duplex.
`II interface PHY 0 (media type 11).` doesn't help either as the listing at
CESDIS show that type 11 is MII autoselect.
