Raymond's reworking the pause definition, but..

my understanding of the ieee802.3(5) man page for rem_fault 
for adv/peeradv rows a value of "i" maps to mii_rem_fault[i] where

    static char *mii_rem_fault[] = {
            "good", "offline", "link fail", "autoneg fail"
    };


for capable, i can be 0/1 indicating no/yes (not capable/capable)

current value of rem_fault is "good" iff both adv/peeradv rows are "good",
"possibly bad" otherwise. 

so if my understanding is right, then the output of dladm show-ether
now comes out to (some additional bug fixes were encountered for the 
SPEED column since yesterday)

LINK            PARAM     STATE AUTONEG        SPEED          DUPLEX PAUSE       REM_FAULT

                capable      --      on  1G,100M,10M       full,half     1             yes
                adv          --      on           1G            full     1            good

And, after doing something like

   # ./dladm set-linkprop -p adv_autoneg_cap=0 bge1

we'd have

#  ./dladm show-ether -x

                capable      --      on  1G,100M,10M       full,half     1             yes

                peeradv      --      on           1G            full     1            good

does that make sense?
