Lee, Actually, I'm using Realtek as well....crappy card, but it works. After hours of messing around, I finally figured it out: Edit rc.conf to show " media 10BaseT/UTP" Example: ifconfig_rl0="inet 216.191.67.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 10BaseT/UTP" You only want to apply this to the main interface and NOT the aliases (obviously) FYI - I now get speeds both ways of up to 1.5mbps intead of 55-60kbps (this rocks!)
