PHY #32 is driver emulating MII management registers when using the
internal N-Way transceiver.  Physical MII transceivers are numbered 0-31.

Hmmm, this last entry is bogus.  Run 'tulip-diag -ee' to see if the
driver is misinterpreting the table, or if you have a slightly corrupted
EEPROM media table.
