Thanks for the explanation, Nigel.

I can see now why the motherboard makers want to include a CSA
version of the igbe, I just don't see why they felt the
need to break the CSA version of the igbe in the process.
I guess it's part of this crazy business of making the
ether drivers micromanage the configuration of the PHYs
and EEPROMs and other irrelevant rubbish that the hardware
ought to be taking care of internally (or at least setting
to sensible default state initially).
