Hello...

	I am trying to use an Intel Pro 1000xf (Multimode fiber/SC connector)
card on a FreeBSD 4.10 system.  The switch (not mine) I need to talk to
is not configured for auto-negotiation, but forced to 100/full.  It is a
requirement on my side to be able to do this also.  My (copper) Intel and broadcom
NICs do this fine, but the 1000xf errors out.

ix# ifconfig em0 media 100BaseTX mediaopt full-duplex
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured
ix# ifconfig em0 media 100BaseSX mediaopt full-duplex
ifconfig: unknown media subtype: 100BaseSX
ix# ifconfig em0 media 1000BaseSX mediaopt full-duplex
ix# ifconfig em0
em0: flags=8846<BROADCAST,DEBUG,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
        ether 00:07:e9:18:25:d5
        media: Ethernet 1000baseSX <full-duplex> (autoselect)
        status: no carrier
ix# # 1000 != 100



em0@pci1:5:0:   class=0x020000 card=0x11098086 chip=0x10098086 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    device   = '82544 PRO/1000 XF Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Fiber)'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet




Is forcing 100Mbps operation not supported by the card or not supported
by the driver?

clue stick?

em_driver_version[] = "1.7.25";

Thanks

p.s. freebsdnic@mailbox.intel.com from man page bounces with MX loops back to me

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
