-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And We were testing 10GbE(Intel) NIC and your 40GbE NIC in our lab
using ethtool with added some debug code.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# ./ethtool-p eth5 (10GbE NIC by Intel)
Settings for eth5:
Supported ports: [ FIBRE ]
Supported link modes: 10000baseT/Full
mask == 5120 <--- ep->support number
# ./ethtool-p eth1 (40GbE NIC by Mellanox)
Settings for eth1:

I work for Solarflare, not Mellanox... and the patch adding 40G link
modes came from Parav Pandit at Emulex.

Also, the 40G link mode flags were only just defined, so the driver
probably has yet to be updated.
