Hi! I have a DEC DE500 fast ethernet card, connected to a 10baseT hub (didn't get the fast ethernet hub yet :-(. While it is ifconfig'ed it gets switched into 100BaseTX mode (the LED labeled "100" lights up, and ifconfig says it is set to 100BaseTX mode). This naturally does not work... Looking at the README.de file, and the de interface source, I tried to ifconfig it with altphys added to it, but ifconfig didn't like it (unrecognized parameter or something similar, I swapped the card with a standard ethernet card in the meantime, so I can't easily try it right now). My machine is running FreeBSD-2.1.0R. I've used this card under many other OS's (Win95, WNT and OS/2) and they are all capable of running it at 10Mbps. How can I do it in FreeBSD? TIA, Nadav
