O.K. So it should be set into 10M half duplex. But why does this cause
it not to loopback packets? Does the PHY you are using not actually
support 10 Half? Why does it need to be the same speed as when the
link was up? And why does it actually set LSTATUS indicating there is
link?

Is this a generic problem, all PHYs are like this, or is this specific
to the PHY you are using? Maybe this PHY needs its own loopback
function because it does something odd?
