I just bought one and I can't figure it out. It has BNC connector and should be supported according to man xl page. With ifconfig_xl0=3D"DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf and BNC cable connected (with terminator) ifconfig reports: xl0: flags=3D8843 mtu 1500 options=3D9 inet6 fe80::204:76ff:feed:6697%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:04:76:ed:66:97 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier dhclient reports "xl0: no link..... giving up" Now, if I manually try to switch to BNC media with: # ifconfig xl0 media 10base2/BNC I get: # xl0: selecting AUI media, half-duplex and a kernel panic (trap 12). The BNC cable itself works with another box. More information below. Any help appreciated.
