[patch 1/7] 8139too: force media setting cleanup

From: <hidden>
Date: 2006-12-19 21:08:55

From: Bernard Lee <redacted>

Setting bit 4 & 5 alone in 8139too module media option does not really
force 100Mbps full-duplex mode.  When media option bit 0-3 is cleared,
8139too module does not force media setting.  Therefore, bit 0-3 requires
to be set for bit 4 & 5 to take effect.  The hidden bit 0-3 setting is not
stated in module description.

It can be fixed by changing rtl8139_private structure default_port bitfield
from 4-bit to 6-bit.

Besides, module media bit 9 is a duplicate of bit 4 (full-duplex).  It is
suggested that bit 9 is freed.  A remark is added to module description
that bit 0 can be used to force setting.  It helps to clarify 10Mbps
half-duplex mode.
