Hi,

I'm having problems running the DEC DE500-BA 21143
in full duplex mode. All I can achieve is 100TX. I do this
by specifying:  media 100BASETX in rc.conf.

Beside that the card doesn't seem to understand FD commands
at all. I tried all the commands that I could find in /sys/pci/if_de.c
without success.

For example:

balder# ifconfig de0 media 100TX_FD
ifconfig: unknown media subtype: 100TX_FD
balder# ifconfig de0 media 100TX-FD
ifconfig: unknown media subtype: 100TX-FD

either "should" work. This works fine under Linux with the
driver from Donald Becker.

Who is maintaining this driver? Who can I contact?

Is there any other suggestion for a NIC card that work with
good performance under FreeBSD with 100TX in Full Duplex
mode?

For the records:

2.2.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE #0
de0 <Digital 21143 Fast Ethernet> rev 48 int a irq 11 on pci0:10:0
de0: DEC DE500-BA 21143 [10-100Mb/s] pass 3.0

Regards,
Rainer.
