FYI: thanks to Brian Walenz, I finally got my hands on an 82c168 NIC
and was able to make the necessary changes to the PNIC driver to support
the non-MII boards. The changes have been committed to -current and
-stable, and the driver at http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/PNIC has
been updated as well. The driver now probes the 82c168 and 82c169
separately and handles both MII and built-in transceivers.
