Guido,

I did some more digging and it appears the bigger problem is that the
RTL8201 external PHY isn't supported (yet) in FreeBSD.  Patches to support
this PHY, along with reports of successful testing in numerous
configurations, are reported in PR kern/30836 (and kern/35691).

This PR has been sitting in GNATS since March - does anyone want to step and
commit it?  It seems that this chipset is frequently used on motherboards
with embedded ethernet, so it would be nice to have this supported RSN.
