Hi Jose

Does this mean that all stmmac variants support 1G? There are none
which just support Fast Ethernet?

I'm also not sure the change fits the problem. Why did it not
negotiate 100FULL rather than 10Half? You are only moving the 1G
speeds around, so 100 speeds should of been advertised and selected.

      Thanks
