Here's the start of a patch to provide the state of the link partner's autoneg. This is useful to know if the link partner is trying to force a speed and we aren't matching.

I wasn't sure how to handle this for all the drivers that handle phy's themselves. Is there some way to have this set to a 'not supported value' in ethtool_get_settings and leave it to the driver specific function to modify it?

I'll followup with an ethtool patch once we figure out the kernel side.

Jeff,

What are your thoughts on adding some defines like:

LPA_NOT_IMPLEMENTED /* device/driver has determined if it can implement this feature */
LPA_NOT_SUPPORTED       /* device/driver doesn't support this information */

By default we'd set the field to LPA_NOT_IMPLEMENTED and than let the driver's get_settings callback modify it as appropriate?
