Send me too, please! :)

My problem isn't about nfs, but 3c905B. I have some of theese, and if I
tell them to come up media 100 TX they stuck with "no carrier". If they
are configured autoselect, evrything works fine (100 TX, of course, as
they should). Ugh??? I was always told "configure them as strict as you
can, 'cause autoselecting ethernet is weird and broken and whatever"
