Subject: [PATCH v2 ethtool] man: ethtool: link 10000baseCR to SFF-8431, Appendix-E SFP+ DA
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 15:50:04 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703102004.1111597-1-siddaraju.dh@intel.com> (raw)
Annotate the 10000baseCR entry in the advertise mask table so users
understand what physical media this mode it actually represents.
10000baseCR does not correspond to any IEEE 802.3 *base-CR PMD.
It has no autonegotiation, no link training, and no mandatory FEC.
The industry standard for this media type is SFF-8431 Appendix-E
Direct Attach cable, also known as 10G_SFI_DA.
