You simply need to add "mediaopt 100baseTX,full-duplex", so you get a line that looks something like: (substituting your IP address and netmask, of course) ifconfig_xl0="inet 172.16.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 mediaopt 100baseTX,full-duplex" --Ludwig Pummer <ludwigp@bigfoot.com> Max Neo Yew Hwee wrote: > > Thanks, your reply is prompt & useful > > May I know how can I set this setting in rc.conf file so that it'll take > effect everytime system reboot. > And can I kindly know how the setting can be force to full duplex mode > rather than simplex mode. > > Best Regards > Max > -----Original Message----- > From: Ludwig Pummer <ludwigp@bigfoot.com> > To: Max Neo Yew Hwee <maxnyh@singnet.com.sg> > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org> > Date: Thursday, September 02, 1999 2:44 AM > Subject: Re: Fw: configure 100BaseT > > >The 3c509 is an ISA card that is not capable of 100BaseTX. > > > >The 3c905 is a PCI card that is capable of 100BaseTX.
