lshw was only capable of reporting link types up to SUPPORTED_10000baseT_Full, meaning that nothing above 10Gbits/s plus many other new link types where not reported at all, leading to faster cards not reporting their speeds. This patch adds new capacities, with the information taken from the libc usr/include/linux/ethtool.h (ie: the linux-libc-dev package). FYI, I needed this patch because lshw was not reporting any speed for our MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4 Lx] (Mellanox Technologies) 25Gbits/s cards, so I thought I would add the speed reporting for that one, then since I was doing the job, I added all standards documented in ethtool.h.
In Debian, we need to be able to override pkg-config, so we can cross compile.

Hi,
Here's 4 patches that we are currently using in the Debian version of lshw. It would be very helpful if these could be merged upstream (even better if a new release can happen, and even awesome if you could from now on use a better version number with letters in the tags...).
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
