Iam having same thing with my rl0 interface.ifconfig
output is as follows:
rl0:
flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu
1500
inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast
192.168.1.255
ether 00:02:44:37:65:1d
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: active
Here I can see media and mediaopt( none here ).As one
of you stated I have tried to tweak mediaopt option as
#ifconfig rl0 mediaopt half-duplex
but I have that error msg:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured
I have used another option as follows:
#ifconfig rl0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt half-duplex
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured
How can I make my rl interface to use half-duplex
media mode to work with my 10 mbit hub? I can get
only 7 kb/s with my localnetwork which is really
annoying me.
