Actually, to follow up here... I know the hub should freak out with the
card at full-duplex, however, the transfer rates were *higher* with
full-duplex set than without it (I just actually set it to full-duplex
before I sent the mail).
I've just tried forcing half-duplex (which, according to the rl man
page, should work), and this is what happens...
# ifconfig rl0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt half-duplex
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured
#
Oh, and if I use autoselect...
# ifconfig rl0
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 08:00:46:1c:d9:c8
media: autoselect (none) status: active
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 100baseTX <hw-loopback>

Why does it report (none)?
