Since I can set the media to 10baseTX, I didn't worry about trying things.
On the 3C509-TX, the only thing that works so far is commenting out the
write to the PHY, which is the one of the changes that Lemon made for the
Intel card.
/*
PHY_WRITE(sc, MII_NSPHY_PCR, reg);
*/
I deleted the or's to reg until only setting the led was left and then I
backed it all out and commented the PHY_WRITE, which restored networking to
the NIC.
My system with a 3C509B-TX wasn't affected by the changes to mii/nsphy.c.
