I was helping out a friend with his FreeBSD network setup in a small Lan environment and noticed that the output from the "ifconfig" command was showing <SIMPLEX>. He was complaining about a slow throughput and being rather new to FreeBSD but not new to Unix in general, I assumed that was the problem. However, it turned out that his IRQ settings were not matching with the Kernel, and once I corrected it the speed was acceptable telneting the the FreeBSD box. Anyway, I am curious what does the SIMPLEX mode mean and how can it be turned off.
