FreeBSD cg-gw 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #10: Tue Jan 16 01:40:27 EST 2007 root@taint:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FW-YQ i386 I did: "ifconfig em2 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" ifconfig em2 now reports: ... media: Ethernet 100baseTX <full-duplex> (autoselect) status: no carrier "ifconfig em2 media 100baseTX" also does this We tried it on 2 different 100baseTX interfaces with the same result "ifconfig em2 media autonegotiate" brings the interface back up It doesn't seem to happen on another interface which autonegotiates 10baseT half-duplex, however This seems to indicate there might be a driver problem since the 2 interfaces connect to very different kinds of equipment Any suggestions?
