In https://marc.info/?t=156413509900003&r=1&w=2 , the invalid speed
recurrence rate is almost 100%, and I had test the solution about
5 times and it works. But yesterday it happen again suddenly, and than
I fount that the recurrence rate reduce to 10%. This time we get 0x79ad
after autoneg started which is not 0x798d from last discussion.
