Hi all,

I've got a brand new LinkSys-EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V3)
for my laptop.I'm running FreeBSD-4.7 RELEASE.The card is recognized
correctly and configured with no trouble.
The problem is that the card works only at 10Mbit/s.
I've read the man page for ed(4), but didn't find a solution.

Here's the output from ifconfig:

# ifconfig ed1 
ed1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 00:04:5a:99:be:d7

# ifconfig ed1 192.168.1.3 media 100baseTX  ...(or media autoselect) 
ifconfig: SIOCGIFMEDIA: Invalid argument

does this mean that the ed driver doesn't support 100baseTX on this card?

So I've tried another thing:
Booted MicroBSD from CD for a test:

here's what shows at boot:

ne3 at pcmcia1 function 0 "Linksys, EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V3), V2.0" port 0xa000/32: LAN iobase 0x240 (0xa000) -> 0x0
ne3: address 00:04:5a:99:be:d7
bmtphy0 at ne3 phy 1: BCM5221 100baseTX PHY, rev. 4

# ifconfig ne3
ne3: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:04:5a:99:be:d7
        media: Ethernet 100baseTX full-duplex
        status: active
        inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        inet6 fe80::204:5aff:fe99:bed7%ne3 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x14

here it shows as 100baseTX full-duplex...but it works at 10Mbit/s again.

maybe this card works only at 10Mbit/s ?

thanx

george
