>Description:
	
1. The mii for this card is detected wrong (amphy instead of rlphy).
2. All network connections to this computer (ssh, telnet...) get disconnected after an unpredictable time (1-10 min.).
3. I build a custom kernel which forced the card to use rlphy but that didnt help.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Connect to a computer with a RTL8139B Ethernet with ssh and wait some time for getting disconnected.
