TABLE B-8 describes the read-only link partner capabilities.
If the link partner is not capable of auto-negotiation (when lp_autoneg_cap is 0)
the information described in

If the link partner is capable of auto-negotiation (when lp_autoneg_cap is 1) then
the speed and mode information is displayed when you use auto-negotiation and
get the link partner capabilities.
