I may be missing something but this patch contains read_mii() and write_mii() but never does anything with them. I'm going to go out on a limb and make a guess that you really mean: + media = read_mii(sc, BCR49); ... + write_mii(sc, BCR49, media); Any chance that we can identify the PHY used by these cards and make sure we're dealing with one of them before we go reading and writing to one blindly? What if Diamond changes PHYs? Anyhow, I don't see these design issues getting in the way of adding functionality. Regenerate your patch and I'll commit it. (unless someone else wants to.)
