Thanks, that fixed it:

tulip 0000:00:0f.0: enabling device (0014 -> 0017)
tulip0: EEPROM default media type Autosense
tulip0: Index #0 - Media 10baseT (#0) described by a 21142 Serial PHY (2) block
tulip0: Index #1 - Media 10baseT-FDX (#4) described by a 21142 Serial PHY (2) block
tulip0: Index #2 - Media 100baseTx (#3) described by a 21143 SYM PHY (4) block
tulip0: Index #3 - Media 100baseTx-FDX (#5) described by a 21143 SYM PHY (4) block
