Hello,

I'm using an r10 nic and have all the information already configured in
rc.conf, however, transfer speeds are unusually slow (i.e., 55-60kbps when
it SHOULD be somewhere near 1.00mbps+)

Someone told me that I might not be running the interface in full duplex.
How can I determine this?  How can I fix it if I am not currently running in
full duplex?

Any assistance is appreciated and below is the output of my interface
information:

www# ifconfig rl0
