Hi Heiner
Is there any way to know it has done a downshift?
Florian said the Intel drivers print a message when they downshift. It
could be interesting to know, especially when a PHY goes from 1G to
100M.
Even for a downshift to 1000Base-T2, i'm guessing for most use cases,
this means the cable is partially broken, and it serves as an early
warning it needs replacing.
