Sorry for being so blind as to look for MII code in intel's gigabit driver! :)

It's sys/dev/mii/e1000phy.c of course.

Line 114 still looks weird to me, so I'm trying this:
--- e1000phy.c  2009-08-25 14:45:03.000000000 +0300
+++ e1000phy.c.old      2009-08-25 14:44:47.000000000 +0300
@@ -166,7 +166,6 @@
                break;
        }

-       sc->mii_flags |= MIIF_HAVEFIBER;
        e1000phy_reset(sc);

        sc->mii_capabilities = PHY_READ(sc, MII_BMSR) & ma->mii_capmask;

for src/sys/dev/mii/e1000phy.c,v 1.18.2.8
I'm rebuilding kernel now...
