OK, so we're probably doing something wrong. I suspect we're not
alone. At least we don't set SUPPORTED_TP for CX4, like I've
seen some NICs do.
Can somebody suggest how we can tell ethtool that
the NIC supports 10Gb only (no autoneg down to 1Gb or lower)
for copper (10Gbase-CX4)? How about for fiber (10Gbase-{S,L})R?
Thanks,
Drew

How about for fiber (10Gbase-{S,L})R? What's wrong with what you already do? Customers expect to see something on the supported line? Ben.

One has complained because drivers for other vendors NICs show this, even if they are fibre NICs or CX4 NICs, and don't actually support 10GbaseT. I'm happy to back this part out, and resubmit the patch without it. There is still some fairly valuable stuff in the patch -- mainly updating the NIC detection logic for new NICs to detect fibre vs copper.

Labelling these NICs as supporting 10GBASE-T is liable to confuse more people (and tools) in the long run. > I'm happy to back this part out, and resubmit the patch without > it.

You should also set port = PORT_OTHER for CX4 or KX4. Currently it looks like you don't set port, so it appears as 0 == PORT_TP. Ben.
