On systems where there are active twisted pair ports (e.g. a management 1g connection) this exporter produces a ton of messages in the dmesg that are coming from the driver:
[58543.598848] i40e 0000:03:00.0 lan0: Module type unrecognized
[58597.231908] i40e 0000:03:00.0 lan0: Module type unrecognized
[58603.599266] i40e 0000:03:00.0 lan0: Module type unrecognized
[58657.231980] i40e 0000:03:00.0 lan0: Module type unrecognized
And if you check the port type it's a twisted pair:
> sudo ethtool lan0 | grep 'Port:'
Port: Twisted Pair

It's possible to exclude this via regex, but there is no reason this exporter shouldn't do this automatically.
