Probably because 100baseT isn't a valid media setting (100BaseTX
is).

Yeah, many ethenet cards require unknown phys. They might work
faster if support for their specific phy was written, they might
not. (Some rtks seem to work without any phys config'ed in the
kernel at all, though I wouldn't trust them with a lot of
throughput. But then, I wouldn't trust a rtk with a lot of
throughput under any circumstances, so...)

Well, doing your own homework first is a good principle to follow,
but it's hard to do when the references aren't there to consult.
(I've been meaning to say something to send-pr about the xi thing
for a while, but I feel guilty doing without including a patch,
so...)
