I've asked myself the same question, but came to a different answer:
 en_ properties are set by the user via dladm
 adv_ properties are equal to en_ MINUS constraints. As a result, these are 
readonly.

A constraint could be a PHY that doesn't support a certain enabled (en_) 
capability, but also powermanagement is listed in the brussels doc as a source 
of constraints.
I've implemented it as anadv = anenabled & phymask, where phymask reflects the 
capabilities of the PHY.

Does this make sense?

Thanks, Joost
