I've updated e1000phy(4) to support Yukon FE and automatic crossover
functions on copper media. I don't have Yukon FE(Fast Ethernet) so I
can't verify e1000phy(4) works on Yukon FE but it seems that automatic
crossover works well on my Yukon EC. Now you don't need to find a
crossover cable to connect two systems.
However, it seems that manual media configutation does not work
correctly. I can't sure it ever worked but I'm working on it.

The updated e1000phy(4) also supports two additional PHY models which
are supposed to be used on nfe(4). So if you use nfe(4) on CURRENT and
ukphy(4) is attached on your NIC, please give e1000(4) go.
If your Marvell NIC still use ukphy(4) please let me know what PHY
models it is.(Set debug.bootverbose to 1 with sysctl(8) and load the
driver module again. ukphy(4) will tell you OUI/model number for you.)

As usual you can get the latest msk(4) driver from the following URL.
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/msk/msk.HEAD.diff

ATM the msk(4) has Rx performance issue. Because no documentation is
available for Yukon II, I can't sure I can fix it but I'll do my best
to address it.

TODO:
Fix manual media configuration(e1000phy(4)).
Performance tuning.
Rx TCP/UDP checksum offload.
TSO support.
64bit DMA(DAC) support.

Thank you.

PS. I'll not be available for 2 weeks so please don't look forward to
    getting quick reply.
