This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
If unsure, say Y.

The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
