CONFIG_DW_AUTONEG + Define this to autonegotiate with the host before proceeding with mac + level configuration. This obviates the definitions of CONFIG_DW_SPEED10M + and CONFIG_DW_DUPLEXHALF. +2. CONFIG_DW_SPEED10M + Define this to change the default behavior from 100Mbps to 10Mbps. +3. CONFIG_DW_DUPLEXHALF + Define this to change the default behavior from Full Duplex to Half. +4.
