routines.
2. Add support for DC21140's 100BaseT4 and
100BaseFx medias.

Release 2.1:
1. Modify the 10/100 link autosensing algorithm to avoid
switching media while autosensing for link pass:
With the new algorithm the media is switched only if:
- the selected media is 10 Mbps and the 100Mbps link passes:
media is switched from 10Mbps to 100Mbps.
- the selected media is 100Mbps. Its link fails but
the 10 Mbps link passes: the media is switched from
100 Mbps to 10Mbps.
2. Modify the DataRate values in the driver installation file
to be backward compatible with the DC21040 V1.x values:
