While I agree that the realtek 8139 is not the best card I have seen, Windows does not have any problem with the link speed autodetect... Or at least it pretends that it detects the link speed properly (BTW FreeBSD detects the 100BaseT properly, only 10BaseT is problematic). So I think that there is still a little issue with the FreeBSD driver concerning media detection. I hope that this is limited to the realtek card (I have a vr0 card that does not have any problems)... Not a major deal, but a real annoyance. Patrick.
