with this change, I got following error on my abit av8:
vge0: <VIA Networking Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xb800-0xb8ff mem 
0xf8122000-0xf81220ff irq 22 at device 14.0 on pci0
vge0: MII read timed out
vge0: failed to start MII autopoll
vge0: MII without any phy!
device_attach: vge0 attach returned 6

before this change, it can work for a while, then it will timeout :

vge0: watchdog timeout
vge0: soft reset timed outvge0: EEPROM reload timed out
vge0: setting CAM filter failed
miibus1: unknown CICADA PHY model 0

rl0: link state changed to DOWN
