Ben, thanks for comments.
How about comment in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h?
It says
** struct ethtool_pauseparam - Ethernet pause (flow control) parameters
...
* If @autoneg is non-zero, the MAC is configured to send and/or
* receive pause frames according to the result of autonegotiation.
Doesn't this mean get_pauseparam() returns pause settings based on
Result of autonegotation? Not manual settings of rx_param & tx_param?
No, get_pauseparam should return the same settings that were passed to
the last set_pauseparam.
Ben.
I used drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e driver as reference.
It's implementation also returns status updated after autonegotiation.
Look into wrong one?
