I do not believe all 82556 cards are 100BaseT capable. My attempts to get my old card up to 100Mb/s (in both FreeBSD and Winbloze) have not been fruitful, # ifconfig fxp0 fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.204 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 ether 00:a0:c9:22:93:d0 media: manual supported media: manual From the manpage for fxp(4), "Note that 100baseTX media type is only available on the Pro/100B." If I try to play with the 'media' option on ifconfig, ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured Same thing for 'mediaopt.' I can see no jumpers or switches on the card itself. > THe 82258 is the Pro/100+, which has no functional difference to the > FreeBSD driver. > > What version of FreeBSD is this?

How do I tell a master from a slave? The physical ordering in the box is SCSI, VGA, new fxp, and old fxp; then the ISA slots start... all empty. The reason I am using this card is that it's what was bought for an upgrade to 100BaseT at work. We've got dozens of these cards. I'd like to figure out how to install it so I can use them in other computers too. How do I know which PCI cards need master or slave spots? Thanks for the aid so far. -- Crist J.
