Posting again Here's some sample output from one of my machines (3.4-stable) which has an Intel EEPro 100 attached to a Bay 350 switch fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 ether 00:90:27:8d:49:7b media: autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP My question is , does SIMPLEX mean that the card is in half duplex mode, However the media line seems to indicate that the connection to the swithc is full duplex What is the recommended way to determine link speed from a machine to a hub/switch. (e.g A colo provider claims that there is 100 Mbit card in the box and one would want to verify that) Regards, Yusuf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
