Well, yeah, that would be what to do, but why do you need to? I have a 100baseTX network at home and don't need any more. ~11.5MBytes/sec works just fine. It won't speed up your DSL if you upgrade any of the equipment. Your DSL line is probably < 4 Mbits/sec. So if that's all you're looking for

You won't gain anything beyond 10baseT/UTP with your DSL line. Also because it is autodetecting at 10baseT/UTP suggests that your DSL modem only has 10baseT support built in to it, so you can't use anything higher. Same goes for your internetl interface re0. It it autodetecting 100baseTX full-

Hi, I've recently switched from a Netgear router to use pppOe for my public internet ip on FreeBSD 5.4. My machine has two nics: bge0 and re0, both of which support 1000baseTX configurations, however neither of the two seem to be able to connect when I configure them in /etc/rc.conf. Here's w
