For 10Mbits/s and/or half-duplex connections, ifconfig can now do what the fa_select program used to, e.g: ifconfig ed1 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex ifconfig ed1 media 10baseT/UTP ifconfig ed1 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex You can put one of those commands in a file called /etc/start_if.ed1 to have it run automatically when you plug in the card.
