FreeBSD says: media: 100baseTX <full-duplex> status: active but it doesn't look like that the card actually runs at full-duplex. Is there any way to figure it out? Is there any better NIC card that works all right in full-duplex under FreeBSD? Rainer. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
