Yes, I should have done my home work better. Sorry. I again looked at many other Intel chips today and saw that all of them use the same code. More details :- 1.

Please refer the function e1000_phy_force_speed_duplex() here to see what I am referring to :- http://gsu.linux.org.tr/~mpekmezci/kernelapi/unitedlinux/drivers/net/e1000/e1000_hw.c.html The first comment in this function is what I am referring to.
