I again looked at
many other Intel chips today and saw that all of them use the same
code. More details :-
1. All the 8254x (Gigabit Ethernet Controller) drivers here:-
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&Inst=Yes&ProductID=983&DwnldID=9180&strOSs=39&OSFullName=Linux*&lang=eng
use the same driver.
2. Please refer the function e1000_phy_force_speed_duplex() here to
see what I am referring to :-

The first comment in this function is what I am referring to.
BTW - LXR is a more convenient way to browse all of linux, rather than
just drivers.
and you can give line-numbers :)

Ok - thats much more info -
its now clear that intel developers intended to do that.
Id have to assume that they know what theyre doing.
So, why did you look there ?
what kind of problems led you to turn over that particular rock ?
IOW- what problem are you having ?
