I don't think that is what you have actually implemented. A link
status change causes a fec_restart. And in fac_restart, you now
reprogram the hardware. So if the link speed is sufficient to support
the request, the hardware should be setup to support it.

What are the real uses cases here? VoIP? Video streaming? So 128kbps,
2Mbps. Both of those are fine over a 10Half limk. So i think you
should try to configure the hardware whenever possible, after link
change or any other condition which causes a reset of the hardware.

What i have not seen addresses here is my comment/question about what
tc shows when it is not possible to perform the request after a link
change? Did you look at how other drivers handle this? Maybe you need
to ask Jamal?

ECANCLED? First time i've seen that one used. I had to go look it up
to see what it means. It does not really give the user any idea why it
failed. How about -ENETDOWN?
