It looks like phy_timer has changed a bit in 2.6.20-rc6, what exactly was the

 As I wrote, I'll have a look at these patches after 2.6.20 again.  These

have become irrelevant.

 The additional timeout was meant to let the driver go back to 
autonegotiation once a cycle through all the forced speeds has failed.
