Hello, I have a Freebsd 4.4 Release Firewall. It contains two PCI rl ethernet devices, and I'm having an issue with the rl0 outside interface that connects to my comcast cable modem. It does not properly autodetect the media type of the connection. The 'ifconfig -m rl0' command returns the following: media: autodetect (none) I know the cable modem connection speed is 10Mbps, but I am unsure of the duplexing. I have second rl device in the box named rl1, which is my inside interface. It connect to a Linksys 10/100Mb switch and works just fine. It autodetects to 100mbps full duplex. Upon firewall reboot or a power cycle of the cable modem, the Internet connectivity will function Ok, then gradually decrease in performance until failure. Are there any known issues with the rl ethernet driver in the Freebsd 4.4 Release? Thank-you, Zach _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
