The virtio driver for Linux guests will not set a link speed to its paravirtualized NICs. This will be seen as -1 in the ethernet layer, and when some servers (e.g. samba) fetches it, it's converted to an unsigned value (and multiplied by 1000 * 1000), so in client side we end up with: 1) Speed: 4294967295000000 bps in DebugData. This patch introduces a helper that returns a speed string (in Mbps or Gbps) if interface speed is valid (>= SPEED_10 and <= SPEED_800000), or "Unknown" otherwise. The reason to not change the value in iface->speed is because we don't know the real speed of the HW backing the server NIC, so let's keep considering these as the fastest NICs available. Also print "Capabilities: None" when the interface doesn't support any.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
