Hello...
I am trying to use an Intel Pro 1000xf (Multimode fiber/SC connector)
card on a FreeBSD 4.10 system. The switch (not mine) I need to talk to
is not configured for auto-negotiation, but forced to 100/full. It is a
requirement on my side to be able to do this also. My (copper) Intel and broadcom
NICs do this fine, but the 1000xf errors out.
ix# ifconfig em0 media 100BaseTX mediaopt full-duplex
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured
ix# ifconfig em0 media 100BaseSX mediaopt full-duplex
ifconfig: unknown media subtype: 100BaseSX
ix# ifconfig em0 media 1000BaseSX mediaopt full-duplex
ix# ifconfig em0
em0: flags=8846<BROADCAST,DEBUG,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
ether 00:07:e9:18:25:d5
media: Ethernet 1000baseSX <full-duplex> (autoselect)
status: no carrier
ix# # 1000 != 100
em0@pci1:5:0: class=0x020000 card=0x11098086 chip=0x10098086 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82544 PRO/1000 XF Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Fiber)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
Is forcing 100Mbps operation not supported by the card or not supported
by the driver?
clue stick?
em_driver_version[] = "1.7.25";
Thanks

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense. I tried it. Only tinfoil works.
