Yours seems to be the same as mine (from a chip and phy point of view) although mine has a DEC assigned ethernet address and yours is from Telebit.

Maybe just put some FAQ about >dc(4) and autoconfigurable hubs/switches? Some things can be blamed on attempted intelligence gone wrong. But not this one. This is a simple bug. My card works perfectly under 4.5.0 on the same machine. It fails with -current. But with one change reverted, it works again. Now all I have to do is work out what is the real underlying cause, since the current code looks right at first glance. At least I have the old DEC datasheets, and some info on some of the clones.
