The man page is somehow unclear there. You only have to use the mediaopt
option, if you want to force full-duplex. But you donīt have to worry about
it, because youīre running already in half-duplex mode, as your ifconfig
states:

>rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
>     inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255

>     media: 10baseT/UTP status: active
>     supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP
>     <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 100baseTX <hw-loopback>

The media: line tells you "10baseT/UTP", that is half-duplex. It would read
"10baseT/UTP <full-duplex>" if your Realtek card were in full-duplex mode.
So whatever your problem is, itīs not the missing half-duplex mode.
