I'm ran ifconfig media 10baseT/UTP on my laptop (needed to be in 10mbit mode, long story, irrelevant to this tale) and noticed the dongle still showed 100mbit. Tried going out and got continuous watchdog timeout warnings from the kernel. I could live with this, but, and this is the kicker, in order to get the card reinitialized to a working state, I had to restart the machine in Win2k. Removing and reinserting the card didn't work, cold reboot into FBSD didn't work. I was pretty amazed. I was glad W2k fixed it. I was actually glad I had W2k available. I then rebooted the machine back to FreeBSD, as I wasn't that glad. The actual card in question is and Intel PRO/100 PC Card, FreeBSD is 4.3-R, machine is Dell Latitude C800. I'm curious if anyone has seen this, or if even one of the other xe based cards (non intel) show this behaviour.
