Due to my misunderstanding, I set the hub to operate in full duplex mode. It is true that the hub(Dlink DFE-904) and ethernet card work without trouble. But something happened to the data rate on the link. Data rate with half duplex is around 7%~10% higher than the data rate with full duplex. So now I set correct parameters to "media 100baseTX mediaopt half-duplex." Cheng-Kang Wen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
