Currently if an e1000 interface is set to a fixed media configuration, for gigabit, it will participate in auto-negotiation as required by IEEE 802.3-2018 Clause 37. However, if set to fixed media configuration for 100 or 10, it does NOT participate in auto-negotiation. By my reading of Clauses 28 and 37, while auto-negotiation is optional for 100 and 10, it is not prohibited and is, in fact, "highly recommended". This patch enables auto-negotiation for fixed 100 and 10 media configuration, in a similar manner to that already performed for 1000. I.e., the patch enables advertising of just the manually configured settings with the goal of allowing the remote end to match the manually configured settings if it has them available. To be clear, this patch does NOT allow an em(4) interface that has been manually configured with specific media settings to respond to auto-negotiation by then configuring different parameters to those that were manually configured. The intent of this patch is to fully comply with the requirements of Clause 37, but for 100 and 10. The need for this has arisen on an em(4) link where the other end is under a different administrative control and is set to full auto-negotiation. Due to the cable length GigE is not working well. It is desired to set the em(4) end to "media 100baseTX mediatype full-duplex" which does work when both ends are configured that way. Currently, because em(4) does not participate in autoneg for this setting, the remote defaults to half-duplex - i.e., there's a duplex mismatch and things don't work. With this patch, em(4) would inform the remote that it has only 100baseTX full, the remote would match that and it will work.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
