Subject: [PATCH 2.6.25] BNX2X: prevent ethtool from setting port type

BNX2X: prevent ethtool from setting port type

On 10GBaseT boards setting the type to TP will cause the driver to try
to configure 1GBaseT.
Since there are currently no boards that support setting of the port
type, disable this for now.
