The driver reports (see the output below) that it is now in 10 Mbit/s mode and "ifconfig de0" says the same. But the LED on the ethernet card (and Sun which is the gateway, i.e. 192.168.15.129) says the card is in 100 Mbit/s mode. Everything was working in 2.2.2-RELEASE with those ugly link[0-2] flags, but this new media thing does not work for me. Any ideas how to fix this?
