I'm connected through a 10/100 Switch but the card wouldn't recognize the link. I tried to force it with ifconfig de0 <ip and mask> media 100BaseTX mediaopt full-duplex but the link wouldn't come up. Only after disconnecting the TP cable and connecting it right afterwards the link would be recognized. Maybe it was the Switch (cheap and nasty Surecom Switch). After all, network hardware is a bit sensitive about what you plug together. > I have tried the command "ifconfig en0 media 10baset/utp mediaopt > full-duplex" and it returns: > > ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Operation not supported > > Does this mean that I cannot set it to full-duplex even as root?

I think the mediatype is case-sensitive....but try man en This should show you the right options for this driver.
