Hi there,

I need to set my network cards (Intel Pro 1000) to full-duplex.

I tried using ifconfig with the mediaopt option which worked, but only 
temporarily.

I then downloaded mii-tool 'cos it wasn't in the ports collection but it 
just gives me critical errors when I try to compile it.

Is there possibly another method that I can use on my FreeBSD server to 
permanently change my NIC settings to full-duplex?

Thanks,
Gavin
