Yes, I can talk with the SunOS box. And the speed was not changed
after doing something, i.e. it's still 100 Mbit/s Full-Duplex.
I installed 2.2.6-RELEASE on another disk, but the result is still the
same: cards are on 100 Mbps mode although they claim to be 10 Mbps (see
the dmesg and ifconfig outputs below).
Note that these cards work ok in 2.2.2-RELEASE with those link[0,1,2]
flags, but not in 2.2.5-RELEASE or 2.2.6-RELEASE :-(
Are you using DEC EtherWORKS cards manually set to 10 Mbps (i.e. you are
not using the autoselect feature)? How did you configure the cards...
