 The RTL8305SB accepts management frames without 
preamble. Minimum of 32 preamble bits are required for the 
first SMI read/write transaction after reset. One idle bit is 
required between any two management transactions as defined 
in IEEE802.3u specs. 
 1: Auto-negotiation process completed. MII Reg.4,5 are valid 
if this bit is set. 
 0: Auto-negotiation process not completed. 
 1: Remote fault condition detected. 
 0: No remote fault.  
 When in 100FX mode, this bit means in-band signal 
Far-End-Fault is detected. 
 1: Nway auto-negotiation capable. (permanently: 1) 
 1: Link is established. If link had ever failed, this bit will be 0 
until after reading this bit again. 
 0: Link is failed. 
 0: No Jabber detected.
