Synopsis: Device driver de won't accept "media" parameters to go Full Duplex:FDIV071 State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: peter State-Changed-When: Fri Sep 26 05:42:01 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: If one modifies a shell script (such as /etc/rc.conf) one should understand basic shell quoting. One way might be to do something like this: ifconfig_de0="mumble -media 'foo bar'" or ifconfig_de0='mumble -media "foo bar"' The requirement is that the argument string presented to the -media switch is a single argument. To get the list of currently supported medias for a driver, use 'ifconfig -m'. What you are probably after is: ifconfig_de0="mumble media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex" (or s/UTP/BNC/) Here, with a SMC9332BDT, the choices are: supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP So, one can: ifconfig de0 media 100baseT mediaopt full-duplex to override the autoselect setting.
