hi,

please try this diff:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/chs/diff.tlp.2114x-nway.5


this diff brings over some changes from FreeBSD to support autonegotiation
for the non-MII 2114[23], Macronix and Lite-On 82C115 chips.
everyone please let me know test results for any of these cards
for which the tlp driver didn't offer "auto" media before.

-Chuck
