This was a major clue, I found the bug. The bug is that the Epia MII 
Mini-ITX motherboard uses the HS6103 Phy and the MAC is integrated into the 
VT8325 south bridge. Apparently it is derived from the Rhine chip but is 
not the same as the Rhine chip.

The fact that it works partially suggests that the differences, while 
significant, are manageable. I'll look into that, but it also means I will 
have to create a separate node in the config tree for this driver. Sigh.
