Yep, that's what you deserve if you buy cheap cards. :) I've seen this _many_ times. Most cards don't even pretend to have auto-negotiate, but those that do mostly fail anyway.

If I use (needed for crappy Alcatel DSL modems): ifconfig rl0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt half-duplex it says: ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured Only "full-duplex" media option is accepted. How can I be sure the card is in half-duplex mode?
