I was wondering why my internet connection was so slow comparing to windows,
when I executed the ifconfig, and sow its output:
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::200:b4ff:fec2:2d28%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 213.22.0.5 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 213.22.3.255
ether 00:00:b4:c2:2d:28
media: autoselect (none) status: active
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 100baseTX <hw-loopback>
The problem I think is that the media should be selected "full-duplex".
So, I checked the man pages for rl and ifconfig and dhclient.conf, and tryed
inserting a "mediaopts full-duplex" to the dhclient.conf file, so that he
could pass it to ifconfig, and set my connection properly... but it didnt
work... the output from ifconfig stays just the same...
My question would be: Where and what should I change the DHClient/ifconfig
configurations so that I can take full advantage of my cable connection
trough FreeBSD.
bash-2.04$ dmesg |grep rl
rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xc5800000-0xc58000ff

rl0: Ethernet address: 00:00:b4:c2:2d:28

rlphy0: <RealTek internal media interface> on miibus0
rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
Thanks in advance.
