In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, Running ifconfig xl0 will list the status of media type. To change types, simply: ifconfig xl0 media "100baseTX" Out of curiosity, how slow are your transfer rates? I'm having issues with 4.2 (although it could be the other hardware) where incoming data transfers are ~30kB/s and outgoing are ~900kB/s with a 3c905a at 10baseT/UTP. With a tulip based card, incoming is ~200kB/s and outgoing is the same. The box is a dual Pentium 166 Acer Altos. In any other system, the NIC's run at full speed for both transfers. I've tried the transfers between FreeBSD and FreeBSD, FreeBSD and Linux, and FreeBSD and Irix. I'm fairly confident it's the Altos' that is at fault, but I was wondering if anyone else had a suggestion.
