Well, I got the driver working for the 8254[17]GI parts.  I did it by
cloning the driver as etherigbe0.c and removing everything that touched
the phy.  Any references to mii were removed.  It only matches the PCI
DIDs for these two chips and can be linked with the original. 

We're racing to finish a product, so we don't have time, but we will
go back and fixup the old driver to know about the new internal phys.
We have the books on the parts so that won't be a problem.

One question I have, though, is why do I want to touch the phy anyway?
Does anyone have a firm reason, other than the general `that's the way
we've always done it.'

Jim?
