I think it should be 100baseTX/UTP. I'm not near a machine I can check that on right now though. > many thanks > > Gavin > > p.s. did the FBSD4.4 version of the xe driver support > 100Mbps as well? It's supported 100Mbps since it was first committed back in 3.x days. There haven't been any significant changes since 4.1. Your card is being attached sucessfully and recognised as a 100Mbps card, so it should be fine. Flaky autonegotiation is the most likely reason for it not to work.
