Do I need to reinstall the driver or something? How would I go about it?

Then... Well, it was plugged into a hub. I just went downstairs and swapped the hub with a switch, rebooted the freebsd box just to be sure, and xl0 still came up half-duplex. any other ideas? *** I think you could do with submitting a bit more info before anybody can make any educated guesses. I'm definitely stuck without any more ;-) Chris intY=20has=20scanned=20this=20email=20for=20all=20known=20viruses=20=28ww= w=2Einty=2Ecom=29 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
