From c196ce05cfdb7b5a8af12a3096fac9e880d59617 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anders Larsen Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:54:40 +0200 Subject: pch_gbe: ethtool cannot change parameters when link is down When attempting to change e.g. the advertising mask when the link is down ecmd->speed is -1 causing mii_ethtool_sset() to bail out. This bug bit when connecting to a gigabit switch through a 4-pin (industrial) cable, since link negotiation would not complete (both endpoints claimed to be gigabit-capable, but this is not possible with only 4 pins). Any attempt to fix this by setting autonegation to not offer 1000Mbps failed as the setting would not be accepted while the link was still down... Set ecmd->speed to SPEED_1000 to satisfy mii_ethtool_sset() (the actual value of ecmd->speed doesn't matter as long as it is valid, since a re-negotation is forced afterwards).
