  if you look at mii_phy_add_media(), in OpenBSD doesn't print anything.
  therefore, that's ok. what you see in ukphy is done in the attach routine,
which urlphy does not have (judging for the diffs you provided).
  i will say, remove this line from urlphy:

	printf("%s: ", sc->mii_dev.dv_xname);

  are you using a recent kernel but an old ifconfig?
  it may be they're out of sync.

  what are you waiting for? :)

  there are plans to move it to if_ethersubr.c. i'm not sure why it has
not happened yet, but it will prolly be done soon.
