One problem here is that MII depends on NET_ETHERNET, which is
10/100 ethernet, which may not be enabled if someone has only
gigabit ethernet. :)
I'm actually quite inclined to rip out all MII support entirely. There's
a lot of code in this driver that needs cleaning up cosmetically, and
removing deprecated features would certainly speed things up. What do
you think?
All of that sounds like a good idea to me.
I didn't realize that MII support is deprecated. Do you mean
that it's deprecated for gigabit?
