DEC 21140 doesn't work on 100bTX as module?

Here's the problem:
I have a box with two network cards, one 3c509 (on 10Mps) compiled in the
kernel, the other a DEC 21140 on 10/100 loaded as module, intended to work
on 100. The DEC refuses to work automatically (i suspect it does not
detect correctly the media or something like that because when i pull out
and then reinsert the connector the led becomes ON), although it is
detected and loaded at boot time. I have noticed that if i compile it by
default in the kernel (not use it like a module) it works correctly.
The problem is i have to use it like module because i'm going to have two
100 cards in the box to route between two subnets
If there's any trick to make it work automatically on 100 when loaded as
module, please let me know.
THANKS A LOT
Here follows some (i hope) helpful info:
