I think using that line you're only checking what kind of phy device you have. If it is connected to a 100baseTX switch, it must be using 100baseTX. For controlling and querying the media type that you're actually using, you can use ifconfig media parameter. The actual value that this parameter accepts are device dependent but in practice quite standard like 100baseTX or 1000baseTX. say, ifconfig | grep media: Greetings, Miguel _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
