Q. What is 'Auto Disable PHY' ? Why have this feature ? Who requires to use this feature ?

A. This feature is for power comsumption and the feature is only for notebook users.

   When users change the setting to 'Enabled' in battery mode and the network cable is unpluged,
   the driver will automatically disable PHY.

   To use this feature, user MUST enable 'Auto Disable Gigabit' first.  Because gigibit link establishment takes
   longer time, driver needs user disable gigabit to reduce the linking time.

   PS. If both of them enabled, the linking time will be increased but power comsumption reduced. The linking time about 5 seconds.
