Interesting, I wonder if anyone else is using these devices on other PPC
or like systems?  I suppose they may be trying to use them but not
having much success and just not reporting it.  I wouldn't be too
surprised if it's an endian issue, though the PHY handling has been a
bit suspect as of late.  Hopefully the work I'm doing now will get the
PHYs working much more predictably.
