The NIC is connected to a 10mbps HUB, but stay in full-duplex mode (very low performances on the lan). My NIC is a rtl8139 based one. I try with another rtl8139, and there was the same problem. >How-To-Repeat: I don't know which NICs are affected. >Fix: I had to specify the media type by hand : ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.253 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 10baseT/UTP" btw, there might be a documentation problem : it seems you can't force a card to use half-duplex when using 10baseT/UTP (with mediaopt). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
