Sorry, typo in address in earlier post. Posting again

Here's some sample output from one of my machines (3.4-stable) which
has an Intel EEPro 100 attached to a Bay 350 switch

fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
<ip address deleted>
ether 00:90:27:8d:49:7b
media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP

My question is , does SIMPLEX mean that the card is in half duplex
mode, However the media line seems to indicate that the connection to
the swithc is full duplex

What is the recommended way to determine link speed from a machine to
a hub/switch. (e.g A colo provider claims that there is 100 Mbit card
in the box and one would want to verify that)

Regards, Yusuf
