The fxp device does default to auto-sense, but if you hard configure the other end then [NWAY] autonegotiation is disabled, and thus whenever you do that you have to set both ends if you want to be sure it is correct. The default without autonegotiation is half-duplex. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
