Hey Ryan,

Currently only X550 adapters support 2.5G/5G and even then we only support the 
speed being forced.  The PHY was out befor the 802.3bz spec was finished so it 
doesn't completely support it.

I would like to get around to moving to the new get/set_link_ksettings but I 
just haven't had the cycles to do it.  It is on the list however.  Is there 
some specific functionality your missing without this support?

Thanks,
-Don Skidmore <donald.c.skidm...@intel.com>
