Hi Heiner,

with commit a6851c613fd7 "r8169: remove 1000/Half from supported modes" my RTL8111B GB-link stops working. It thinks that it established a link, however nothing is actually transmitted. Setting the mode with `mii-tool -F 100baseTx-HD` establishes a successful connection.

Reverting a6851c613fd7 (while considering the file name change) fixes autonegotiation for me.

Kind regards
Bernhard
