 It seems that my duf/poliod webmail client messes up these messages, so I'll try to submit from here instead.
 
 I run another test today, checking out what OpenBSD says when the network card driver loads. Interestingly it seems that the OpenBSD people did something similar to Andy's suggestion, as dmesg shows traces of both ukphy and nsphy. I am posting the relevant bit of OpenBSD dmesg in the hope that somebody way smarter than me will find it more useful than I did. :-)
 
 OpenBSD 4.1 on my crappy Netfinity 5000:
