The fxp man page won't really help.. what you need is ifconfig. run ifconfig -m fxp0 (or vx0) to see the allowable media types and options. For example, my fxp0 gives this: fxp0: (etc) media: autoselect supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP The entries in <brackets> are media options, not really media. So, if you wanted to force 10mbit full-duplex mode, you would run ifconfig fxp0 media 10baseT/utp mediaopt full-duplex -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com
