I was wondering why my internet connection was so slow comparing to windows, 
when I executed the ifconfig, and sow its output:
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::200:b4ff:fec2:2d28%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet 213.22.0.5 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 213.22.3.255
        ether 00:00:b4:c2:2d:28
        media: autoselect (none) status: active
        supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 100baseTX <hw-loopback>   

The problem I think is that the media should be selected "full-duplex".
So, I checked the man pages for rl and ifconfig and dhclient.conf, and tryed 
inserting a "mediaopts full-duplex" to the dhclient.conf file, so that he 
could pass it to ifconfig, and set my connection properly... but it didnt 
work... the output from ifconfig stays just the same...

My question would be: Where and what should I change the DHClient/ifconfig 
configurations so that I can take full advantage of my cable connection 
trough FreeBSD.

bash-2.04$ dmesg |grep rl
rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xc5800000-0xc58000ff 
irq 5 at device 9.0 on pci0
rl0: Ethernet address: 00:00:b4:c2:2d:28
miibus0: <MII bus> on rl0
rlphy0: <RealTek internal media interface> on miibus0
rlphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto  

Thanks in advance.
