If this is supposed to be an error message, it doesn't convey that
something is really wrong to the user. Maybe something like this would
be more meaningful to the user:

	"PTP clock rate should not be zero, using 1GHz instead. PTP
	clock may be unreliable.\n"

It may be appropriate not to publish PTP support for the interface if
we don't have a valid clock rate, which is probably the safer approach
and would probably make the problem more noticable to the end user so
it gets fixed.

FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
