a problem with one particular switch module. Create a kernel option
BGE_FAKE_AUTONEG that restores the 5.4 behavior, which should make the DNLK
switch module work. IBM/Intel blades with Intel or AD switch modules should
work without patching or kernel options with this commit.
Hardware for testing provided by several folks, including
Danny Braniss <danny@cs.huji.ac.il>, Achim Patzner <ap@bnc.net>,
and OffMyServer.

ethernet controllers. This adds support for the 3Com 3c996-T, the
SysKonnect SK-9D21 and SK-9D41, and the built-in gigE NICs on
Dell PowerEdge 2550 servers. The latter configuration hauls ass:
preliminary measurements show TCP speeds of over 900Mbps using
only normal size frames.
TCP/IP checksum offload, jumbo frames and VLAN tag insertion/stripping
are supported, as well as interrupt moderation.
Still need to fix autonegotiation support for 1000baseSX NICs, but
beyond that, driver is pretty solid.
