Hi...

I can't seem to force my NIC into full-duplex (yes, I'm on a 10/100 switch -
I *want* full duplex) - autoselect leaves the interface at half-duplex.
Here's the pertinent info:

# ifconfig de0
de0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
  ether 00:80:c8:79:8c:4e
  media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active
  supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP

# ifconfig de0 media "10baseT/UTP"
/kernel: de0: enabling 10baseT port

# ifconfig de0 media "10baseT/UTP <full-duplex>"
ifconfig: unknown media subtype: 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex>


Any suggestions are greatly appreciated - man ifconfig mentions "mediaopt"
but I can't seem to get that to agree either.

Thanks ... Jamie
