Register 22: Ethernet PHY Management Register 4 – Auto-Negotiation
Advertisement (MR4), address 0x04
This register provides the advertised abilities of the Ethernet Controller used during auto-negotiation.
Bits 8:5 represent the Technology Ability Field bits. This field can be overwritten by software to
auto-negotiate to an alternate common technology. Writing to this register has no effect until
auto-negotiation is re-initiated by setting the RANEG bit in the MR0 register.

Software should not rely on the value of a reserved bit. To provide
compatibility with future products, the value of a reserved bit should be
preserved across a read-modify-write operation.

Technology Ability Field [3]
Value Description
1 The Ethernet Controller supports the 100Base-TX full-duplex
signaling protocol. If software wants to ensure that this mode
is not used, this bit can be cleared and auto-negotiation
re-initiated with the RANEG bit in the MR0 register.
0 The Ethernet Controller does not support the 100Base-TX
full-duplex signaling protocol.
