maybe he meant as far as ieee 802.3u goes ?

mine has also "1216F" printed on it but as lucent/agere doesn't list
that model and the model-id matches the one in the lu6612 datasheet
i assumed it got relabeled or something. however, the lu6612 datasheet
lists 0x7641 as the value for the mr3-register on page 14 whereas it
lists 0x000c for the model-id on page 17. i think 0x7641 is totally
bogus as it even doesn't match the oui-bits in mr3 for that lucent
oui.

well, the bsd-mii-way seems to be to have drivers for the known ones
and copy&paste the generic-bits...
