Subject: [RFC ETHTOOL PATCH 0/2] implement MDI-X set
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2012 10:52:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120725174351.9839.132.stgit@jbrandeb-snb.jf.intel.com> (raw)

Some users reported issues connecting to some switches, where
they were unable to get link (see kernel.org bugzilla 11998)

This patch series improves ethtool to support controlling the
MDI/MDI-X state of a link.  It also adds support to the "get
settings" function to show if the MDI state was forced or not.

This is currently RFC because internal testing was not completed
but I am sending the patch to make sure the design is good.

Special thanks to Ben Hutchings for his input to this series.
