...managed to get out by bringing EECONFIG (39) on DP83905 chip down to ground during boot as per datasheet for the chip (TI Literature Number: SNLS087A) This made the card start without EEPROM config on 0x300, and then it was configurable from scratch with AUTOSET.

It's quite a good solution also.
I wasn't sure I have correct version of AUTOSET and blamed on it. So I decided I can do better with hex-editor 😀
