>Description:
If you try to change the media type of interfaces ixgbe, it shows that can support only "auto" media type.

[root@ ~]# ifconfig -m ix1 | grep media
	media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseSX <full-duplex>)
	supported media:
		media autoselect
		media 10Gbase-T

root@ ~]# ifconfig ix1 | grep media
	media: Ethernet autoselect


Now I'm gonna try to set 10Gbase-T:
[root@ ~]# ifconfig ix1 media 10Gbase-T
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Invalid argument

On my console it appears:
ix1: Only auto media type

I have a switch 10G with this interface.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just try to set 10GBase-T on this interface.
