Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Basic registers of MII PHY #1:  3000 786d 0022 5410 01e1 45e1 0005 2801.
 The autonegotiated capability is 01e0.
The autonegotiated media type is 100baseTx-FD.
 Basic mode control register 0x3000: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
 Your link partner advertised 45e1: Flow-control 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx
10baseT-FD 10baseT, w/ 802.3X flow control.
   End of basic transceiver information.
