It also took me some time to understand what this speed_down is doing.
If we suspend and wait for a WoL packet, then we don't have to burn all
the energy for a GBit connection. Therefore we switch to the lowest
speed supported by chip and link partner. This is done by removing
higher speeds from the advertised modes and restarting an autonego.
