:The critical part of this is IMO that we need both mii_softc_init and
:mii_sofc_deinit or so. Not all driver call mii_phy_auto_stop and therefore
:might result in dangling timeouts.

:Joerg

    The question is: do the drivers ensure (directly or indirectly) that
    no timeout is pending before detaching ?  If they don't then we
    need mii_softc_deinit().  If they do then we don't.

    all we have left is ndis.  Ndis could be a problem because the existing
    pointer is being overloaded onto a windows structure.  We can't just
    change the windows structure (though it *might* be possible to extend
    it).
