Welcome to netgraph.. I hope it was not an unpleasant experience.. Suggestions and complaints are definitly eccepted with pleasure. E.g. Was the differnce between 4.x and 5.x too much of a pain.? (it was needed for SMP) I will be making a backport of SOME of the added functionality of 5.x to 4.x

Aloha, I think you need to do an ifconfig -a on your system, and use the media and/or mediaopt option of ifconfig. My system at home has a de0 interface, and as I recall the parameters are slightly different from those shown below... server# ifconfig pn0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-dupl

The crock in these trunking schemes is all the trouble and effort expended to avoid re-ordering frames across the trunk bundle. This is why you see things like the hashing techniques so that an individual flow of traffic doesn't get reordered because it always is serialized over the a single pat
