During boot the card (somehow) switches to 10baseT/UTP (shown on console as "de0: enabling 10baseT port" and verified by watching the HUP (switching one of its LEDs off)). When ifconfig 192.168.x.x media 100baseTX is run the console log shows "de0: enabling 100baseTX port", but the HUP does not seem to switch back to 100MBits. The same hardware and Win95 seem to work though. When I disconnect/reconnect the machine and the HUP it works neatly on 100Mbit. (The hup is a cheap Lanpro 10/100, the cabling is Cat5.) My question is what am I doing wrong, or how can I prevent the 'de' driver to switch to 10baseT in the first place?
