hello there.
i am having a problem getting my digital ethernet card to work.
i can run 
ifconfig de0 xxx.xxx.xx.xx 255.255.255.0 media 100BaseTX
and it seems to run fine at 100 mbps.
now, i have a 10mbs hub.
ifconfig de0 xxx.xxx.xx.xx 255.255.255.0 media 10BaseT/UTP
produces the following error:
ifconfig: sipcsifmedia: device not supported

typing just
ifconfig de0
in the last line says that:
supported media: autoselect 100BaseTX <full-duplex> 100BaseTX

So why is 100BaseTX there twice?
Also, is this my network card that doesn't support 10baseT or can i force
it to run at 10mbs somehow?
(network card bought from infotel , has a digital chip on it).
TIA.
Val.
