All,

This machine has for its wired port a RealTek unit:

re0: <RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E/F PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port
0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfcfff000-0xfcffffff,0xfcfe0000-0xfcfeffff irq 19
at device 0.0 on pci12
re0: Using 1 MSI-X message
re0: ASPM disabled
re0: Chip rev. 0x3c000000
re0: MAC rev. 0x00400000
miibus0: <MII bus> on re0
rgephy0: <RTL8169S/8110S/8211 1000BASE-T media interface> PHY 1 on miibus0
rgephy0:  none, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 10baseT-FDX-flow, 100baseTX,
100baseTX-FDX, 100baseTX-FDX-flow, 1000baseT, 1000baseT-master,
1000baseT-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX-master, 1000baseT-FDX-flow,
1000baseT-FDX-flow-master, auto, auto-flow
re0: Ethernet address: 00:26:18:45:77:51


I've got wireless working for iwn (thanks Adrian!), and I'm trying to
use the wired NIC (re0) as an unnumbered port to monitor a mirror port
on an HP switch. However, when I connect it, it shows up as only
10mbit, half-duplex on the switch, and it refuses to send packets.

I've tried 'ifconfig re0 media 1000baseT -mediaopt full-duplex'

with no particular luck, as it shows the following

re0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE>
        ether 00:26:18:45:77:51
        nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
        media: Ethernet 1000baseT (10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>)
        status: active

I get no output from 'tcpdump -npi re0'. I get link light, and it
worked great on re0 when I did the install for FreeBSD, but no joy for
capturing packets from the switch.

Anyone have some thoughts to share on this? Yes, I tried using a new
cable, too...

Kurt
