Hi,
The only device that gives you full-duplex connectivity its a switch, if
your computer its connected to a switch, then you can use the mediaopt
switch in your /etc/rc.conf file to force it to full-duplex, see man
ifconfig. I think the syntaxis its:
ifconfig_xl0="inet x.x.x.x netmask y.y.y.y mediaopt full-duplex"
