Not quite what I was after, but it'll do for now.

My only system which has a 3310 PHY and is configured for rate matching
(using an XAUI interface, mode 1) seems to be sick - the 3310 no longer
correctly negotiates on the media side (will only link at 100M/Half and
only passes traffic in one direction), which makes any development with
it rather difficult.  Either the media side drivers have failed or the
magnetics.

I was also hoping for some discussion, as I bought up a few points
about the 3310's rate matching - unless you have the version with
MACsec, the PHY expects the host side to rate limit the egress rate to
the media rate and will _not_ send pause frames.  If you have MACsec,
and the MACsec hardware is enabled (although may not be encrypting),
then the PHY will send pause frames to the host as the internal buffer
fills.

Then there's the whole question of what phydev->speed etc should be set
to - the media speed or the host side link speed with the PHY, and then
how the host side should configure itself.  At least the 88E6390x
switch will force itself to the media side speed using that while in
XAUI mode, resulting in a non-functioning speed.  So should the host
side force itself to 10G whenever in something like XAUI mode?

What do we do about the egress rate - ignore that statement and hope
that the 3310 doesn't create bad packets on the wire if we fill up its
internal buffer?
