Hello,

I have a Freebsd 4.4 Release Firewall.   It contains two PCI rl ethernet 
devices, and I'm having an issue with the rl0 outside interface that 
connects to my comcast cable modem.   It does not properly autodetect the 
media type of the connection.   The 'ifconfig -m rl0' command returns the 
following:

media: autodetect (none)

I know the cable modem connection speed is 10Mbps, but I am unsure of the 
duplexing.   I have second rl device in the box named rl1, which is my 
inside interface.   It connect to a Linksys 10/100Mb switch and works just 
fine.   It autodetects to 100mbps full duplex.

Upon firewall reboot or a power cycle of the cable modem, the Internet 
connectivity will function Ok, then gradually decrease in performance until 
failure.

Are there any known issues with the rl ethernet driver in the Freebsd 4.4 
Release?

Thank-you,
Zach
