Good point. The doc describes a "Auto-Negotiation Complete" interrupt status bit, which signal that " ... auto-negotiation of the SGMII or 1000BASE-X interface has completed."
But I have no clue whether that would trigger on a link status *change*. Is there a way to test this without pulling the cable? My board sits in a data centre, so is not easily accessible to me.

Cheers,
Andre.
