The last PoE powered board I designed used LTC4267

I'm using small microcontrollers dedicated to the task.  It lets
you add features that aren't covered in the specification (e.g.,
virtually "electrically" disconnect and reconnect the device,
measure power consumption, alert the local host of faults,
PWM *all* of the PD supplies, convey timing information, etc.)
It's a more complex solution ("it's only software") but offers a
lot of value-added *if* your devices are highly integrated with
the network (and not just "blobs" dangling off the end of it)
