It is _way_ too soon to even start thinking of using 10GKR for its true purpose - the patches to add 10GBASER were only merged for v5.6-rc1, so we're still waiting for a kernel with that update to be released. In other words, there's no stable kernels to backport it to yet. Do we want it to go into -rc? If so, it also needs to be thoroughly tested. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 10.2Mbps down 587kbps up
