Bug report, as much information as I can give...

ARGH.

Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Basic registers of MII PHY #24:  3000 786d 0000 0000 01e1 0020 0004 2001.
 Basic mode control register 0x30000: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
 Your link partner is generating 10baseT link beat  (no autonegotiation).

@whee.

So should I drop the new driver into the kernel tree, and recompile and
hope it works?
