Hi Andrew:

it makes no sense when auto-negotiation is not supported.
I should handle it differently with the case supports auto-negotiation
and not supports auto-negotiation.

I will fix it in next version, result like below:
Settings for eth0:
         Supported ports: [ FIBRE ]
         Supported link modes:   25000baseCR/Full
                                 25000baseSR/Full
                                 1000baseX/Full
                                 10000baseCR/Full
                                 10000baseSR/Full
                                 10000baseLR/Full
         Supported pause frame use: Symmetric
         Supports auto-negotiation: No
         Supported FEC modes: None BaseR
         Advertised link modes:  Not reported
         Advertised pause frame use: No
         Advertised auto-negotiation: No
         Advertised FEC modes: Not reported
         Speed: 10000Mb/s
         Duplex: Full
         Port: FIBRE
         PHYAD: 0
         Transceiver: internal
         Auto-negotiation: off
         Current message level: 0x00000036 (54)
                                probe link ifdown ifup
         Link detected: yes

         Wish I have understood your comments correctly.


Thanks!
