Link Partner Auto-Negotiation Able
Bit 0 of the Auto-Negotiation Expansion Register returns a 1 when the link partner is known to have auto-negotiation
capability. Before any auto-negotiation information is exchanged, or if the link partner does not comply with IEEE auto-
negotiation, the bit returns a value of 0.
