Hello,
I just setup an E320 with a 1Gbps SFP. I've updated the filesystem, FPGA load 
(with the "1G" build"), etc and am using UHD 4.0. uhd_usrp_probe seems happy, 
and I created a gnuradio flowgraph and streamed samples ok. I did not test 
throughput, though.

What concerns me is that when I connect to the E320 via serial console and 
boot, I see this:
[   23.592701] nixge 40000000.ethernet sfp0: Link is Up - 10Mbps/Half - flow 
control off
[   23.733169] nixge 40020000.ethernet int0: Link is Up - 10Mbps/Half - flow 
control off

If I check with ethtool on the E320, I see:
----------------------------
Settings for sfp0:
Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
Supported link modes:   1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
Supports auto-negotiation: No
Supported FEC modes: Not reported
Advertised link modes:  1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
Advertised auto-negotiation: No
Advertised FEC modes: Not reported
Speed: 10Mb/s
Duplex: Half
Port: MII
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: off
Link detected: yes
------------------------------------

I know that the SFP is directly connected to the FPGA, and the load I put on 
the FPGA is for 1gbps. Is the ethtool reported speed of 10Mbps and duplex=half 
even meaningful?

By the way, our network switch that the sfp is ultimately connected to shows a 
1gbps/full duplex connection on that port.

I'm just a little confused with what is happening between linux/ethtool/ARM vs 
the FPGA SFP connection and whether or not I actually have a speed/duplex 
problem.

Thanks,
Jim
