AX88790 L phy workaround

I am in need of adding driver support for the Socket Rugged CF
Ethernet card. It uses the AX88790 L chip. Socket indicates that this
chip has a Phy bug and they provide a workaround.
ftp://ftp.socketcom.com/ea/Rugged_10-100_Driver_Changes_07-2006.zip
I'm guessing that  the problem is only in a recent revision (the L
revision?) of the chip since I don't see such a workaround in the
standard axnet_cs.c driver.

Has anyone done this workaround? Any other comments or suggestions?
Otherwise, I'll try to implement these changes and submit a patch.
Thanks.
