Just wondering if anyone else on the list that has a realtek 8169s and running 4.4 release and able to run a GigE connection from their OpenBSD box to another GigE device, if they can maintain a complete connection when they force the re driver via ifconfig to 1000baseT.
Incase you are wondering I do have both a GigE windows machine and generic unmanaged GigE switch. I did change the physical network cable between the switch and the re rj45 jack with no effect. And plugging re directly into my GigE windows box had the driver attempt to make a connection, fail, and retry continuously (though I did not use a cross-over cable nor try a different network cable -- time was somewhat limited). I skimmed cvs-web on the re driver and didn't see any posts related to behaviour. Flames welcome!
