I believe the behavior of displaying the media type selected in the probe output started in the 3.5-RELEASE, and this system is a 2.2.8-RELEASE. I found in /sys/src/pci/if_fxp.c that there is an IOCTL (SIOCGIFMEDIA) that should do the trick with just a small C wrapper program... > Is the link light on the card on or off? There should also be a > 10/100 light that is on for 100baseT (full or half). Link and 100meg is on on both the NIC and the hub. If I trust the Ethernet hardware to properly report what it negotiated (and no reason not to), we got the 100Mbit.
