I have revision 35 of the same card; it's a 10/100 card.  I think it's
a safe bet that your revision 36 unit is as well.

This also makes problems with autosensing hubs more likely, as most of
the bugs in this area occur specifically when you have devices on both
ends trying to autoconfigure their speed.

No idea why options=0 would fail, unless perhaps the switch port is
*not* configured for autosensing but is instead hard configured for
100Mbps.

Not being able to resuscitate the interface with ifconfig is thoroughly
expected.

info: /bin/report-hw: /proc/pci:   Bus  0, device  13, function  0:
info: /bin/report-hw: /proc/pci:     VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 1064SG [Mystique] (rev 3).
info: /bin/report-hw: /proc/pci:       IRQ 10.
info: /bin/report-hw: /proc/pci:       Master Capable.  Latency=32.  
info: /bin/report-hw: /proc/pci:       Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x1800000 [0x1ffffff].

info: /bin/report-hw: /proc/pci:       Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x2000000 [0x27fffff].

I don't have any direct experience with the Mystique, but I trust it's
in much the same state as my Millennium II, that both will work in
framebuffer mode if and when there's code to automatically load the 
matroxfb_base module.
