grepping xircom drivers in 2.4.19pre8 yeilded this in xircom_tulip_cb.c

    case SIOCGMIIPHY:       /* Get address of MII PHY in use. */

So it's added there at least..
Seems there are two xircom drivers these days, so maybe trying the
alternative driver will work ?

Failing that, if you feel adventurous, adding the ioctl support to the other
driver shouldn't be too much work. In fact most of it should be cut-n-pastable.
