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).
