I was thinking about the doubleshot.

You're right, I just tested the series and it the two 10G/1G ports were
able to be reconfigured at runtime, my bad.

However it seems cp1_eth1 is coming up at 100Mbps only. (I haven't
looked into it more than a quick test so far).

  # ethtool eth2
  Settings for eth2:
          Supported ports: [ TP MII FIBRE ]
          Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                  100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
          Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
          Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
          Supported FEC modes: Not reported
          Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                  100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
          Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
          Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
          Advertised FEC modes: Not reported
          Link partner advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                               100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
          Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
          Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
          Link partner advertised FEC modes: Not reported
          Speed: 100Mb/s
          Duplex: Full
          Port: MII
          PHYAD: 0
          Transceiver: internal
          Auto-negotiation: on
          Link detected: yes

The link partner however advertises:

          Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                  100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                                  1000baseT/Full

Thanks,
Antoine
