I want to set my Digital Fast Ethernet card to 10 Mbit/s and
therefore I have something like
"ifconfig_de0=".... media 10baseT/UTP"
in /etc/rc.conf.
The driver reports (see the output below) that it is now in 10 Mbit/s
mode and "ifconfig de0" says the same.
But the LED on the ethernet card (and Sun which is the gateway, i.e.
192.168.15.129) says the card is in 100 Mbit/s mode.
Everything was working in 2.2.2-RELEASE with those ugly link[0-2]
flags, but this new media thing does not work for me.
Any ideas how to fix this? Upgrade to 2.2.6-BETA?
