I have a gateway 2000 with a 3C905-TX card in it. (10/100 base T auto
sensing with just one ?rj45? jack)  This machine is on a 10 base T network.
 I thought this was a supported card when I did the bsd setup but now I can
only seem to get file transfer rates of about 6.5k per second to another
machine connected to the same hub.  

I have a second gateway box running BSDi only with a 3c509 10 base T card
in it and I just did a transfer at 488k per second.

I *thought* I read somewhere in the bsd docs, I don't know if it was
FreeBSD or BSDi, that I might need to run some type of program that would
tell the card or the OS if it should be talking 10 or 100.  Has anyone
heard of this?
