Trying ifconfig(8) on the command line is probably the better way to go, but I'm not interested in starting a holy war on the subject. Take a look at the ifconfig(8) man page, as well as the manpage for your NIC driver, which should tell what options to use. For example, the rl(4) manpage tells me that to set the first RealTek 8139 on my system to 100 Mbps, I'd use: ifconfig rl0 media 100baseTX Note that you must have root privileges to reconfigure an interface.
