• Auto negotiation
• Half/full duplex
• Promiscuous mode
• TX and RX checksum offloading
• MAC address filtering

• :ref:IEEE 802.1Qav (credit based shaping) <8021Qav>
• :ref:LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) <lldp_interface>

Not all Ethernet device drivers support all of these features. You can see what is supported by net iface net-shell command. It will print currently supported Ethernet features.
