To disable the inband-mode for this 2.5g copper
sfp. But have not found a way to set a flag which i
can grab in phylink.

The interface imho can only hold 1 value 
(speedmode which is correctly set to 2500baseX) 
and the mode holds ethtool options which seem 
not accessable from phylink.c

I had only the sfp message with vendor/partno and the interface up from mac (2500baseX/Full)
But no link up.

Which message(s) do you want to see?
