That's odd. The OUI/Model number indicates NATSEMI(National
Semiconductor), DP83815 PHY and nsphyter(4) should serve your PHY.
CCed marius, the author of nsphyter(4) port, to get more information
how this can happen.

Yes that would surely help to diagnose the issue. I'm somewhat
overloaded due to other pending-driver related one and paid
work. So I would't have time to fix at the moment but having the
hardware guarantee I'll take a look in near future.
