google = "freebsd media rc.conf" -> http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-set up.html Section shows: ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_dc1="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 10baseT/UTP" So you want: ifconfig_dc0="100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" ifconfig_dc1="100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" Regards, Dave Seddon dave writes: > Hello, > I'm trying to get a pair of netgear cards to work on a 5.4-RELEASE-p6 > box.
