Hello,
  I have a 2.1.6-Release box, and recently installed an SMC Etherpower
10/100.  The card is old, at least a year or two, so it doesn't have the
"newer" chipset.  The card is connected to a 10/100mbs ethernet switch.
When FreeBSD comes up, it "enables" the 10BaseT port, instead of the 100mbs
port.  Is there a way to get FreeBSD to force it to 100mbs instead of 10?
I have verified that the port on the switch does 100mbs, by connecting
other equipment to that port.  But I haven't figured out how to tell
FreeBSD to use it in the 100mbs mode.

Thanks,
