Have you tried: ifconfig de0 -mediaopt full-duplex (the "-mediaopt" is taken from the ifconfig man page and the "full-duplex" from the de man page) Oscar At 06:38 PM 8/1/00 -0600, Jamie Hermans, you wrote: >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 mtu 1500 > ether 00:80:c8:79:8c:4e > media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active > supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP > ># ifconfig de0 media "10baseT/UTP" >/kernel: de0: enabling 10baseT port > ># ifconfig de0 media "10baseT/UTP " >ifconfig: unknown media subtype: 10baseT/UTP > > >Any suggestions are greatly appreciated - man ifconfig mentions "mediaopt" >but I can't seem to get that to agree either. > >Thanks ...
