ixgbe: Document how to enable NBASE-T support
Commit a296d665eae1 ("ixgbe: Add ethtool support to enable 2.5 and 5.0
Gbps support") introduced suppression of the advertisement of NBASE-T
speeds by default, according to Todd Fujinaka to accommodate customers
with network switches which could not cope with advertised NBASE-T
speeds, as posted in the E1000-devel mailing list:
https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/mailman/message/37106269/
However, the suppression was not documented at all, nor was how to
enable NBASE-T support.
Properly document the NBASE-T suppression and how to enable NBASE-T
support.
