If someone is doing this, please send me some patches for the
driver when you get it working.  All of the 857s I have seen
are still using Port D for the FEC.  I guess I could make the
changes if someone else can test them.

The intention is to also be able to use Port D for the ATM UTOPIA
so you can have 10/100 and ATM on the same part.  This is really
the purpose of the 857, although I have yet to see anyone use it
that way :-).
