blacklisting drivers not supporting mii

blacklisting is easy to implement (see this patch)

problem is that some users reported that 3c59x worked but on 3c980-TX and
3c905C-TX/TX-M

and anyway full mii support was added to quite a lot of drivers in 2.4.23pre3,
including 3c59x

the real fix is to get:
- all kernel drivers supporting link state via netlink through 
netif_carrier_on()/_off() or mii_check_link()/mii_check_media()
- ifplugd should use netlink for link detection (netlink is definitely the
preferred way to get link notification)
