	Try using the eepro100.c driver from the kernel, and not the one from
Intel (the driver from the kernel supports SIOCGMIIPHY).

	Though it does not seem a problem with the driver, you should try using
the one from the kernel and see if it helps.

	If it doesn't, reply this mail with the mii-diag output (and driver
version).
