Can you talk with the Sun box? It may not change the speed until > you actually *do* something... Yes, I can talk with the SunOS box. And the speed was not changed after doing something, i.e. it's still 100 Mbit/s Full-Duplex. I installed 2.2.6-RELEASE on another disk, but the result is still the same: cards are on 100 Mbps mode although they claim to be 10 Mbps (see the dmesg and ifconfig outputs below). Note that these cards work ok in 2.2.2-RELEASE with those link[0,1,2] flags, but not in 2.2.5-RELEASE or 2.2.6-RELEASE :-( Are you using DEC EtherWORKS cards manually set to 10 Mbps (i.e. you are not using the autoselect feature)? How did you configure the cards... /Martti ---------------- ROOT slrtr:~> dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-1998 FreeBSD Inc.
