there are no transmission/reception errors reported. the phy says
it has negotiated correctly, e.g. it reports the correct speed and
duplex on both the 100 and 1000 links i've tried. the nic+phy require
no real management, they are very tightly bound and there's nothing
the driver has to do to the nic which depends on what the phy negotiates
as far as i can see.
