Well, maybe he's spent time tracing out schematics

use the same chip (8394?) in the standard application circuit.
I have nowhere near enough time to sit down and fix an ethernet
transceiver. I have a buddy locally who does (he's a retiree), and I
just *give* him my broken ones and he reconditions and uses them.
Anyway, my reason is much more frivolous. 8-)
