I've got a <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> plugged into a Cisco Cat5500 100Mbps switch, and I'm been running various 3.x versions from 3.0-RELEASE up to the 3.4-RC from 13/12. This card is happy to run in Full Duplex mode if I force it with ifconfig. If left to autonegotiate with the switch, the xl0 comes up 100Mbps/half-duplex, but the switch comes up full duplex. Hence I get lotsa collisions (~20%). Anything I can do to try to sort this out? This is my personal w/s so I am happy to try experimental kernels, printf debugging etc. [Yes, I know I can force it by changing ifconfig_xl0 in rc.conf...] wpaul? xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> rev 0x00 int a irq 11 on pci0.17.0 xl0: Ethernet address: 00:10:5a:a9:84:33 xl0: autoneg complete, link status good (half-duplex, 100Mbps) Greg.
