Hi Andrew,

it is finally running in DSA mode. Thanks so much, Andrew. I can set an
IP address to all ports individually and running it now in a bridge with 
all 4 copper ports. Set an IP address to the bridge and get a ping reply 
from  all ports. So far, that is all what I have to test, for now. 

I warned you before, I will go back to another custom board. But now with 
more experience thanks to you.

Cheers,
Benjamin
