I ran into a similar problem with a couple Linksys cards under both FBSD & (ugh) Win95 -- telling the HP ProCurve 2424M to force 100BTX half-duplex (didn't try full) fixed the problem.... Still seeing this autoneg problem with my cheapy Linksys 100-only hub and my wife's Linksys card on '95... You'd figure that autoneg would work when everything's by the same manufacturer.... :) mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
