One thing I noticed while making the changes is that the reported speed is kept in a u16. With 10G we are already 1/6 of the way to the maximum. I've no idea when 100G will arrive, but euros to beliners it will probably arrive "some day" which means something will have to give. I've not thought it through completely, but my initial reaction would be to suggest just making the thing a 64 bit quantity reporting bits and not worry about it again. And then one doesn't have to worry if ethtool starts being applied to links which do not run at integral multiples of a Mbit/s. rick jones - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
