After trying lots of seemingly random change, I found that if I put
the netif_carrier changes into the PHY interrupt handler, the crashes
went away.

So, this comes to a second question, is there a good example or
description of how to use MII?  For example, so drivers use
mii_check_media() and others only use mii_check_link ().  Why would I
perfer one over the other?
