Negotiate the interface format with the MAC rather than requiring it to be a fixed type specified solely by the SFP module. This allows modules that can work with several different interface signalling formats to select a format compatible with the MAC - for example, a Fiber module supporing Gigabit ethernet and faster connected to a Gigabit only MAC needs to select the 1000BASE-X mode.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
