I have a question for someone familiar with this driver. I must enforce Gb/Full-duplex before the end of boot. I have IBM BladeCenter chassis which internally uses Nortel 2-3 switches which in turn do not allow for autonegotiation of internal interfaces.I want to run a diskless configuration so changing the bits with ifconfig is not an option. Tweaking settings in PXE boot agent doesn't help - the link preference is not preserved after kernel starts booting.
I've implemented a half-baked solution just to make the darn thing work. Assuming you have gentbi PHY (check the dmesg), the following patch removes auto negotiation and half-duplex handling for SX interface, thus leaving 1000FD only. Tested on IBM LS21 blades.
