This parameter does support 'inet , inet6, atalk, ether and ipx ' protocols. Which protocol should I choose since my FBSD is directly connected to the router by using UTP cable ? FYI , I have encountered my CISCO router gradually receiving CRC error from the FBSD . Does somebody know how to fine tuning the ethernet interface on the FBSD to address CRC error issue ?
