so I have been doing some tests using the mdio utility ...

mdio

90000.mdio-1
fixed-0

mdio 9*

DEV      PHY-ID  LINK
0x00  0x00000000  down
0x08  0x00000000  down
0x10  0x004dd0b1  up
0x11  0x004dd0b1  down
0x12  0x004dd0b1  down
0x13  0x004dd0b1  up
0x14  0x004dd0b1  down
0x15  0x04820a05  down

listing the settings for the devices that are up - the aquantias are not showing i presume as I don't capabilities higher than 1000

mdio is reporting speed is half " speed: 1000-half" ... is this correct? ethtool shows 1000b/s

is this normal that mdio reports a different speed value than ethtool ? what takes precedence?

how about the aquantias why aren't they showing? under /sys/bus/mdio_bus I only can see Aquantia drivers ...

so I am confused !
