Hello, so I was right? ;o) I assume, that you have more capable device on the other side, atleast 100 Mb/s full-duplex. In that case, you should check, what connection type is "seen" on the other side (switches with management!). Then you can check auto-negotiation settings on the other side, try to change ethernet cable - it would be faulty and auto-neg would not work correctly, then look, which chipset do you have - the driver would not work with too new chips, I have here some ICH8 machines, which do work just 100 Mb/s instead of 1 Gb/s (I expect that -current should work now). Regards. PS: Another very good command is ifconfig -m em0, where you can see all allowed media/mediaopt combinations. -- Rudolf Cejka <cejkar at fit.vutbr.cz> http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~cejkar Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology Bozetechova 2, 612 66 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
