I would like to have the compression settings to be grayed out until
the user explicitly activates them. Selecting a certain link speed
could still update the compression specific GUI elements to the
respective defaults of the selected link speed. As soon as the user
activates the compression settings this GUI element updates will no
longer happen. In addition the defaults of the selected link speed
could be displayed.
