I have tried but I am not confident I am getting the
command right.

To force into 100Mbps I type as root:

ifconfig xe0 media 100baseTX

the result I get is:

ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Invalid argument

What should I type?

many thanks

Gavin

p.s. did the FBSD4.4 version of the xe driver support
100Mbps as well?
