From what I understand, it's not a misprint.

I suspect a misprint somewhere. If that is in anything smaller
than a DIP package it would at least need heat sinks to avoid
desoldering itself.

Did anyone else notice the power consumption? 250ma at 3.3 volts!! A
CS8900A manages to work at around 50ma at 3.3 volts. What is Microchip
doing with all that extra power? Even 100base-T controllers use less
than 250ma.

Right.
Unfortunately, as suits rule the purchasing departments,
they will pick a 100bT product from competitor A over
an otherwise superior 10bT product from competitor B.
It sucks...
