Method and system for a plurality of physical layers for network connection

A method, comprising:

• communicatively coupling a media access controller to a first physical layer device via a data switch, wherein the first physical layer device is associated with a first data communication rate;
• detecting a network activity via a signal received by a second physical layer device, wherein the second physical layer device is associated with a second data communication rate;
• and
• communicatively coupling the media access controller to the second physical layer device via the data switch in response to detecting the network activity.

A system, the system comprising:

• a communication device comprising a media access controller, the communication device being configured to:
• auto-detect a first signal presence of a first channel;
• auto-detect a second signal presence of a second channel;
• aggregate the first channel and the second channel as a single communication link in response to an auto-detection of the first signal presence and an auto-detection of the second signal presence;
• and
• communicate with a remote communication device via the single communication link.
