I had a FreeBSD router with 9 21140 channels and a number of hosts connected directly using 21140 based cards too (Cogent EM110/EM440 cards). After booting it could happen that links were established with 10MBit also the interfaces were set to fixed rates. No - it doesn't wonder me anymore - I've learned to live with that. Also todays NIC prices helps to not waste time with such troubles anymore. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de ticso@bwct.de info@bwct.dehelp
