The medium selection can be influenced by the following link flags to the ifconfig(8) command: well do this means that I can't use that ethernet card at 100 Mbps? at startup it says vx0 <3COM 3C905 Fast Etherlink XL PCI> rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:11:0 mii[*mii*]: disable 'auto select' with DOS util! address 00:60:08:50:ae:5e but I guess this does not mean that it is not working... because when I install FreeBSD on a new machine it says the same when it is booting up but then the ethernet card works... and the setup utility of the ethernet card does not let me change anything including the irq and the address...
