I use link{0,1,2} to form an index value (linkX is bitX so link2 equals 4, link1 and link 0 equals 3, etc.). 0 does nothing 7 means autoselect (the default) 1..6 selects one of the media printed on boot: de0: media: 1="10BaseT/UTP" 2="AUI/BNC" ... So you can select full-duplex modes if you desire. -- Matt Thomas Internet: matt@3am-software.com 3am Software Foundry WWW URL: http://www.3am-software.com/bio/matt.html Westford, MA Disclaimer: I disavow all knowledge of this message
