[c-nsp] 1000BaseTX GBIC that will do FE

[Tim Stevenson]

For GBIC, we offer WS-G5483, this is 1000BaseT only, no triple speed 
on any platform.

For SFP, we offer GLC-T, this is a 10/100/1000 *capable* SFP. In all 
shipping cat6500 hardware, this SFP will only work in 1000BaseT mode, 
ie, the 6k module hardware is incapable of running this at anything 
other than gigabit speed. Future module hardware will allow 3-speed operation.

For other platforms, some hardware supports 3-speed, some not. There 
is a compatibility matrix, those listed as GLC-T (10/100/1000) 
support 3-speed, those listed as GLC-T (1000BaseT), do not.
