THANKS that really helps.. and yes i meant de0..
good timing on the message too, i just did a network install (ftpd on my
computer w/ the 21140 and ftp client on the computer that got the
installation) and it actually worked but i was getting a sustained rate of
7 k/s... and the whole while, i would get:
de0: link down: cable problem?
to the console.. about every 10 seconds or less.. i didnt know you could
actually specify cable type for ifconfig. is there documentation on this?
i.e. what other settings are there.. im using a peer-peer cable (rj45) btw
i hope thats not messing anything up.. i'll try the media setting though,
thanks a lot..
