Not sure about 10Gb, but here is a patch from my pile I prepared a while ago, but haven't submitted it yet. Feel free to push it further if you find it useful. Please note netdev is the right list for networking matters. Maciej --- Make PHYLIB available for selection for NETDEV_1000 too. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
