I should have been more clearer. I wanted to know which previous
FreeBSD release was able to establish a 1000baseT link.
Downshifting feature of IC Plus IP1001 PHY is automatically enabled
which will downshift to 100TX link when 1000baseT link
establishment fails in auto-negotiation process. So can you confirm
there is no cabling issues there?
