I have no idea - I haven't been able to get in touch with him :(
(The fix was urgently required, and this did the job).

Not sure - I've never tried initing more than 3 of the DP83815 cards in a
single machine. (I am using Cobalt Qube 3's, which have 2 DP83815's on
the motherboard, and a single PCI slot which I have installed a DP38315 in
for testing purposes).
