>Is there anyway to get more stats out of the interface on the FreeBSD end >of things that you or anyone knows of ? The only thing you can find out currently is what mode the card is set to - auto or forced 10/100 half/full. When it is set to auto, the hardware does the negotiation and FreeBSD doesn't know about it. In the auto case it would be possible to add additional code that asks the hardware what mode it is currently in, but even with that, we don't have an established way of reporting that information. It sounds to me like the hardware isn't negotiating the duplex properly. The PHY (physical interface) will default to half duplex if the negotiation fails. If the switch is hard configured for full duplex, then you'd have a problem. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
