Hi,
The dmfe module lacks netif stuff for carrier detection, while the board
does report carrier status. Here is a patch.
Note: there are probably a lot more ethtool stuff that could be added,
but carrier sense is really a must.

Just an additional fixup: the default state should be carrier off.
This fixes boot carrier detection.
