That will give you "ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured",
because this mediaopt option is not (no longer?) supported for fxp(4).
By NOT specifying any mediaopt option, you specify half-duplex
implicitly. Or you can `subtract' the full-duplex option with
"-mediaopt full-duplex", as stated earlier.

At the moment there are some NICs (fxp, xl, etc) that have this way of
specifying half/full-duplex, and some others --not sure which-- don't,
so these have an explicit "half-duplex" mediaopt. The man pages don't
always agree with reality, however... :(
