Comments:
It looks good as a starting point :)
I just added mii_check_media() to drivers/net/mii.c. It's in the latest
2.5.x snapshot,
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.5/snapshots/patch-2.5.39-bk2.bz2
and is in Marcelo's inbox as well. For simple implementations (and I
think pcnet32 qualifies), the timer should not need to do anything
beyond calling mii_check_media(). One important feature of this is use
of the standard netif_carrier_{off,on} to indicate link to the system.
netif_carrier_xxx also means you don't need lp->link...

That looks like just what the doctor ordered, but unfortunately it looks
like 2.5.39-bk2 is oopsing on boot on this machine. The boot freezes
and at the top of the screen I can see what looks like the tail end of an
oops (this is hand typed):
