It doesn't look to me like finding the transceiver:

These are exactly like Berkan's. Also the product ID reported by
vortex-diag seems to be the same, although the manufacturing date is
8 days apart, so there might be a big lot coming...

I'm waiting for Don's reply, but IMHO the scheme with split XCVR_NWAY and
XCVR_MII detection is the only way to do it right.
