This is a ifconfig -a  display of my Nic card in the server 
connected to the Lan.

xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 10.0.10.2 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255
	ether 00:01:02:2f:c3:00 
	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
	status: active

FTP statistics show this Nic outputting at 73 KBps while the 
Nic card in the only machine on the lan is outputting at 19MBps. 
That means the server Nic card is receiving much much faster that it
is sending out. The conclusion is that no matter what the ifconfig 
says about the server Nic card it is not sending at 100baset 
full-duplex mode by default. 

How do I force it into 100baseT mode so FBSD knows about it?
