Subject: [PATCH] [Bug 5839] uli526x partially recognizing interface

Patch fixes:
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5839

Init sequence needs to poll phy until phy reset is complete. This is the
same problem that I fixed in 2002 in tulip driver.

Thanks to manty@...ty.net for testing this patch.
