Nice, but I got this Znyx board for $70 on eBay thanks to the 
Dot-Com-Flamout syndrome.

In any event, I did get it working, but... how shall I put it... The PHY 
seems.... reluctant... to select the proper media type, especially when 
it's not 100 mbps (that is, when you plug one of the ports into a 
10baseT hub). It sometimes needs to be pursuaded with quite a bit of 
coaxing. Needless to say, I am not convinced the 21143 miibus handler 
gizmos are 100% correct.

 From dmesg (finally):
