Ok, I'll send the MII-diag output when I get into
work in about an hour.

Try using the eepro100.c driver from the kernel, and not the one from
Intel (the driver from the kernel supports SIOCGMIIPHY).
Though it does not seem a problem with the driver, you should try using
the one from the kernel and see if it helps.
If it doesn't, reply this mail with the mii-diag output (and driver
version).
