Description of problem:

Currently, ethtool lacks the simple support for properly listing 10000baseT/Full as a supported speed/duplex.

ethtool needs the following patch to add support for supporting 10000baseT:

    http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2007/11/7/394199/thread

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ethtool-6-2

How reproducible:

100% reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run ethtool on a device that supports 10000baseT/Full
  
Actual results:

[root@localhost ~]# ethtool eth1
Settings for eth1:
       Supported ports: [ FIBRE ]
       Supported link modes:
       Supports auto-negotiation: No
       Advertised link modes:  10000baseT/Full
       Advertised auto-negotiation: No
       Speed: 10000Mb/s
       Duplex: Full
       Port: FIBRE
       PHYAD: 0
       Transceiver: internal
       Auto-negotiation: off
       Link detected: yes

Expected results:

[root@localhost ~]# ethtool eth1
Settings for eth1:
       Supported ports: [ FIBRE ]
       Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                               100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                               1000baseT/Full
                               10000baseT/Full
       Supports auto-negotiation: No
       Advertised link modes:  10000baseT/Full
       Advertised auto-negotiation: No
       Speed: 10000Mb/s
       Duplex: Full
       Port: FIBRE
       PHYAD: 0
