Currently the e1000e driver will crash when the 80003es2lan code attempts to 
call hw->mac.ops.check_mng_mode(), because that function pointer is never 
initialized. This patch makes sure that check_mng_mode is set for every type of 
PHY.

I am open to suggestions for other ways to solve this problem. I do not really 
understand why the management mode checks were commented out in the first place.

Thanks,
Geoff
