I don't have experience on bce(4) hardwares so I'm not sure but how about adding full-duplex? e.g. ifconfig bce0 media 1000baseSX mediaopt full-duplex For gigabit connections you should always use auto-negotiation. There is no need to manually specify link speed/duplex except connecting to broken link partners. > or (according to bce(4)): > > # ifconfig bce0 media 1000baseTX > ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured > I guess your PHY type is not for 1000baseT.
