I have a system with an IntelPro Ethernet card, which purports to support full-duplex (reformatted for legibility): # ifconfig fxp0 fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet XXX.YYY.236.105 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast XXX.YYY.239.255 inet6 fe80::2d0:b7ff:fe65:d038%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 atalk 12174.21 range 12174-12174 phase 2 broadcast 0.255 ether 00:d0:b7:65:d0:38 media: autoselect (100baseTX) status: active supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP But trying to set full-duplex results in an error: # ifconfig fxp0 mediaopt full-duplex ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured My workaround is to have our network staff change my port on the switch to half-duplex, but I'm hoping to learn how to do this for future reference. Thanks.
