[Cbe-oss-dev] [RFC][PATCH] spidernet: enable fiber autonegotiation

While experimenting with a copper passthrough module in bladecenter I found 
out that this needs autonegotiation enabled in order to work properly.
This quick hack enables it with the sideeffect of breaking other bladecenter 
switch configurations.
If anyone has any suggestions or has experimented with the same configuration, 
feel free to comment.

This patch is not meant for inclusion into mainline.
