The following reply was made to PR i386/26696; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Brooks Davis <brooks@one-eyed-alien.net> To: luc@2113.ch Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: i386/26696: mediaopt doesn't work with xl drivers "ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured" Date: Mon, 28 May 2001 19:15:19 -0700 --UlVJffcvxoiEqYs2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable This is expected (though I'll admit that ifconfig has really lousy error handling.) If you look at the output from ifconfig closly, you'll notice that half-duplex is not in the supported media list. With Ethernet interfaces, the default is assumed to be convententional ethernet with full-duplex being the special case. You are already in half-duplex mode. If you were in full duplex mode you could disable it with "ifconfig xl0 -mediaopt full-duplex". -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
