Agreed -- from experience with a couple of HP Procurve 2424M switches and various 100Mb cards, the "Auto" setting is less than reliable... My Netgear FA310TX(?) and Intel EtherExpress 100B cards all get detected correctly, but most of the other ones can be a little flaky with auto-detect... If you can't control the switch settings (most unmanaged switches), you'll have to play with the ifconfig flags to get the net card and the switch to agree on what protocol they're using. mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
