Well, in the case of fxp(4), the man page is quite clear:
The fxp driver supports the following media options:
full-duplex Set full duplex operation
(end of list)
It doesn't really make sense to have separate options for half and
full duplex, because they are mutually exclusive anyway. So one of
them was dropped. I'm not sure, but it seems to be the case with all
NIC drivers using the common miibus code.
Cheers,
