 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".
