Grrr. Make all modes work properly with the 82c168 chip and built-in
transceiver. Note in the manual page that autoselection doesn't
work on the 82c168 because the built-in NWAY support is horribly
broken. Manual mode selection works fine, but autoneg is broken for
everything except maybe 10Mbps half-duplex. There's no simple way
to fix this at the moment, so I have to settle for documenting the
bug for now. Fortunately, there aren't anywhere near as many 82c168
boards around as there are 82c169s.
