Summary

The ix driver now supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) on Intel
E610 devices. EEE allows the network interface to enter low-power
states during periods of low link utilization, reducing power
consumption while maintaining full performance when needed.

E610 adapters provide EEE support through BASE-T PHY functionality.
Due to this PHY-based implementation, EEE is supported only
on 2.5Gb speeds and above.
