My K6/266 seems to connect at 100Mbit all the time. My other Alpha (the axppci33) has a SRM console that recognises the DE500 and FreeBSD goes 100mbit without troubles on that one. > (switching one of its LEDs off)).

Hub not hup. Instead of disconnect/reconnect of the cable for me the following works in /etc/rc.local on the obnoxious Axp: # this is horrible echo "you don't wanna know: enabling 100baseT" ifconfig de0 down sleep 1 ifconfig de0 media 100baseTX sleep 1 ifconfig de0 up It is gross...
