Hi Florian

What do you think about this?

This works for basic status information. But what about other ethtool
options? Setting the speed and duplex, turning pause on/off, etc.

Do we actually need to stay on page 1 if fibre is in use? How do we
initially change to page 1 when the fibre link is still down?

Should we be using the old mechanism to swap between TP, BNC and AUI
to swap between copper and fibre?
