No!!! We must continue the revolution!!! Welcome to the revolution!!! AAAAHHH!!! Auto-neg/Auto-sense should be the only subject in this list for the next 10 years until we resolve this issue. Continue the fight laddies!!! Arrgggh!!! Fight for your right to auto-negotiate. Peter PS Was just kidding. I started this thread, but it was just about a Samba problem that didn't even have anything to do with layer 2 devices. Anyway, like I've posted before, the problem was solved, and the culprits were on the application layer, not the data link. No animals were harmed in the creation of this email. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Hanley" <jh_@yahoo.com> To: "Keith J" <kjohnso8@columbus.rr.com> Cc: "Tom" <tom@uniserve.com>; <stable@FreeBSD.ORG>; <freebsd-qa@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 4:22 PM Subject: Re: 4.5 PRERELEASE - Call for testing > --- Keith J <kjohnso8@columbus.rr.com> wrote: > > Well gee Tom.... if one end doesn't respond to negotiation... are you > > saying the smart end will force a speed or duplex that can't possibly > > work?
