Sorry, I solved the problem by rebooting the server :-(

Before rebooting, I observed:

# ./mii-diag 
Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Basic registers of MII PHY #0:  0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000.
  No MII transceiver present!.
  Use '--force' to view the information anyway.

Just after that, vortex-diag gave the (probably) correct information:
(the switch is forced to 100/FD in this case)

# ./vortex-diag -mm

After a reboot, mii-diag is OK:

./mii-diag

 You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
 Your link partner is generating 100baseTx link beat  (no
autonegotiation).
   End of basic transceiver information.
