ok, then the problem is that the driver cannot properly shut down the PHY
if a DA copper cable is used. WOL is not enabled on both boxes:

Supports Wake-on: d
Wake-on: d
Is this a bug in the driver or a hardware problem? Do you think this can
be fixed somehow? If so, can (or should) I file a bug report somewhere?
This effects the link selection process in Active-Backup bonds between
two boxes, for example.
Thank you again for your answer.
Best regards,
Peter
