Yep, that's what you deserve if you buy cheap cards. :) I've seen this _many_ times. Most cards don't even pretend to have auto-negotiate, but those that do mostly fail anyway. JH> ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 10baseT/UTP" JH> ifconfig_rl1="inet 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 10baseT/UTP" Following up on this: does anybody know why the "mediaopt" option of ifconfig doesn't seem to work as described in the manpage for rl(4)? If I use (needed for crappy Alcatel DSL modems): ifconfig rl0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt half-duplex it says: ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured Only "full-duplex" media option is accepted. How can I be sure the card is in half-duplex mode?
