Hi! I had some problems with "rl" cards with "auto" media. It happens with some kind of hubs. Try to specify type of your network media, for example: # ifconfig rl0 inet 10.0.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex # route add default 10.0.0.254 Vlad. > From owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Thu Jan 20 11:31:23 2005 > From: Imobach =?iso-8859-1?q?Gonz=E1lez_Sosa?= <imobachgs@banot.net> > To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2005 16:30:03 +0000 > Subject: Realtek 8139 (rl) very poor performance > > Hi all, > > I'm havin' a strange problem with my Realtek Network Adapter.
