Problems with 21143-TD and LXT970ATC

[B. James Phillippe]

Hello,

I have a board which has a DC21143-TD MAC and LXT970ATC LevelOne PHY w/MII,
which is not usable with any version of the tulip driver.  I'm currently
working with 91g.  The device is detected, but it seems the PHY is not
being initialized or woken up.  The symptom is an error-free detection
(until you try to transmit), and a solidly lit ACT LED and blinking 10/100
LED.  Here is some information:
