:   You need to disabled autonegotiation as well with link0, e.g.:
:ifconfig fxp0 link0 link1 link2
: 
:   When you upgrade to 2.2.5 or newer of FreeBSD, this will change to:
:ifconfig fxp0 media 100basetx mediaopt full-duplex

Can vx (3c5x9 3C905) device be configured to full-duplex mode?
I tried this option for vx0 and got errors:

#  ifconfig vx0 link2 full-duplex
ifconfig: full-duplex: bad value

# ifconfig vx0 link2 100basetx link2  full-duplex
ifconfig: 100basetx: bad value

The vx and fxp manual pages do not say anything about full-duplex configuring.
It refers to ifconfig man-page and ifconfig says to look at specific man-page.

Would some one please tell me if is it possible to configure vx0 in
full-duplex mode ?

Thanks,

-Jin
