Concentrated Solar Power? Chartered Society of Physiotherapy? Center
for Space Physics?

Sorry, I don't know what a "CSP environment" is in this context, neither
it seems does google. TLAs in general tend to be bad when it comes to
communication.

However, it seems from that comment that you're not talking about real
hardware. Is there no real hardware out there supporting 10G mode with
these proposed driver changes yet?

The generic 10G PHY driver is really dumb and basic - it only supports
a very basic 10G mode.
