Of course, but ifconfig(1) says to "refer to the interfaces' driver specific man page for a complete list of available options", and then rl(4) says: The rl driver supports the following media options: full-duplex Force full duplex operation half-duplex Force half duplex operation. So this last entry is clearly incorrect. It should probably say something like "if you don't specify full-duplex, the default is half-duplex". Now everybody who reads this man page for the first time will try: ifconfig rl0 mediaopt half-duplex only to find that it doesn't work as advertised (you'll SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured). If there's a need, I'll shoot in a PR for this one... :) Cheers, - -- Dimitry Andric PGP Key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~dim/dim.asc Fingerprint: 7AB462D2CE35FC6D42394FCDB05EA30A2E2096A3 Lbh ner abj va ivbyngvba bs gur QZPN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5i Comment: http://www.gn.apc.org/duncan/stoa_cover.htm iQA/AwUBPAeLzrBeowouIJajEQIoMQCcDGTIJC/BMuZZFPIp/YPxSLMKzboAoNTC hk20VOx4alSMXQLbB9j2DB3A =TFKC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
