And multi-port versions are quite cheap too.

Even easier Dept.:
In /etc/rc.conf set:
ifconfig_xl0="inet X.X.X.X media 10baseT/UTP mediaopts half-duplex"
(or whatever options you want).
Looks like this won't work with DHCP configuration, in which case you just put
the ifconfig command (with the appropriate media args) in
"/etc/start_if.${ifn}", e.g. '/etc/start_if.xl0'
Leastways, this looks like it'd work on 4-5RC.
Cheers,
AS
