I want to set my Digital Fast Ethernet card to 10 Mbit/s and therefore I have something like "ifconfig_de0=".... media 10baseT/UTP" in /etc/rc.conf. The driver reports (see the output below) that it is now in 10 Mbit/s mode and "ifconfig de0" says the same. But the LED on the ethernet card (and Sun which is the gateway, i.e. 192.168.15.129) says the card is in 100 Mbit/s mode. Everything was working in 2.2.2-RELEASE with those ugly link[0-2] flags, but this new media thing does not work for me. Any ideas how to fix this? Upgrade to 2.2.6-BETA? /Martti ----- # dmesg FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE #0: Mon Mar 16 08:16:54 CET 1998 root@slrtr:/usr/src/sys/compile/SLRTR ... de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 32 int a irq 11 on pci0:17 de0: DEC DE500-AA 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 de0: address 00:00:f8:05:a4:a8 ... de0: link down: cable problem? de0: enabling 10baseT port # # ifconfig de0 de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.15.130 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 192.168.15.131 ether 00:00:f8:05:a4:a8 media: 10baseT/UTP status: active To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
