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.
