I wonder if we could add more public properties in 2nd phase's scope.
In the first stage, it focuses on bge/e1000g/nge, which don't have
those tunables supported yet. It will be a problem for us to test
those "stub" func then.
You might also look at eri, which is now a GLDv3 driver. :-) I'd not
worry too much about nge, it has other issues. bge and e1000g are
good candidates though.
For IPG tunables, I think they are useful in reducing collision rate on
a half-duplex media. But with 1000M links and above, they are seldom
works under half-duplex mode, unless a broken cable or so. So it seems
to me these parameters are not as useful today as they were in the past.
I searched bug's database and found the latest bug regarding IPG was
quite a long time ago(not s10 days even), which makes me think this
feature is not heavily used by customer already.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Raymond
