Ok, understood. I was mixing up if_media with MII. But I'm still not sure
if it is the best solution to set the initial baudrate to 0. Maybe it
should default to the _maximum_ link speed instead. Having an initial
baudrate of 0 on boot before the link is established might cause an impact
on at least bridge, trunk lacp and altq bandwidth. Maybe downgrading the
baudrate would be better than upgrading.
