One think I'm sure, that "mii-tool" on Linux helps now, and "ifconfig media / mediaopt" doesn't (without this patch & turned on option), so it seems, that Linux turn autonegotiation off when media is set manually. And, yes, without manual setting media (with autonegatiotion) Linux has same problem -- half/full duplex mismatch.

And, yes, I think, that additional media option will be better, but it looks like major feature and not small patch :) -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <l...@serebryakov.spb.ru> _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
