Today with the en_* and adv_* properties you can set a value (e.g., en_10fdx_cap) to 0 or 1 - 0 means disable, 1 means enable. could you give an example of how you would do this with the en-mii proposal (and without the += or -=, and without listing the full set of speed/duplex pairs in the command line)? Also in today's model, only the modified setting (en_10fdx_cap = 0, in my example) is saved in datalink.conf. As I understand, in your proposal, the whole set of enabled props would have to get stored in datalink.conf (and then, if the NIC is DR'ed or otherwise changes its defaults, the stored set in datalink.conf may be out of sync). --Sowmini
