I thought nsphyter(4) may handle PHY hardware but ukphy(4) was
used. Just curious, would you let me know OUI/MII model/revision
number of PHY?(ukphy(4) prints that information in verbosed boot.)

I don't have sis(4) hardwares so I may not help to diagnose
the equalizer issue but it seems that Rx error recovery and link
state change handling needs to be rewritten.
