	FWIW, the equivalent in Tru64 never seemed to get the interface to
stay at full-duplex.  I set ewa0_mode in SRM, and it claims full-duplex on
boot, but only links at half-duplex once the interface is active.

	I can't say I much like the seperate transciever board in the
Miata, which I suspect is the cause of this weirdness.  I'd go with a
seperate PCI Ethernet card given the choice.
