Hi,
I'm doing some work for Mellanox and we need some 100GBase types for
coming hardware products too.
I think we are not using the 32-bits of "ifm_media" well enough.
Has it been discussed to add more bits to "IFM_NMASK" and have more
ethernet types like IFM_ETHER_0, IFM_ETHER_1, IFM_ETHER_2, IFM_ETHER_3 ....
Currently 5 IFM types are defined. If 2 more bits can be added to
IFM_NMASK we have 5 bits total giving us 2**5 = 32 IFM types. Then it
should be possible to define "(32 - 5) * 32 = 864" more ethernet types,
which I think should be enough for now - or we add even one more bit to
IFM_NMASK ?
