[PROBLEM] D-Link DFE-580TX: Only 3 Ports working

Hello kernel-developers (esp. Donald ;) )

I am experiencing very strange problems with the
"D-Link DFE-580TX 4 port Server Adapter" in our enviroment.

The kernel can only use the first three Ports. The forth Port
is detected but reports some problems with the MII-Transciever.

It should not be a NIC-hardwareproblem (used a second one - same
problems).

But read with your own eyes:

eth2 to eth3 are working without any problems.

I don't have any idea what the reason could be.
Maybe some of the almighty kernel hackers have. ;-)

have a nice week.
