I just committed something like that to HEAD. If you build with
--enable-sysfs-carrier, then mii will never be used; it does require
a 2.6.10 kernel and until the kernel got a corresponding sysfs file
for the link speed HAL will assume it's 100Mbps. By default
--enable-sysfs-carrier is set to no.

You may fetch packages for Fedora Development (should work on FC3
also if you got the latest kernel from FC3 updates) from here

Please see if this works on your system.

Cheers,
David
