If you have the machine connected by a cross-over cable, be warned that the Pro/100B's auto speed detection doesn't deal with this correctly when the cards on both ends are Pro/100B's. It does seem to work when one card is a DEC chip based card, however. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
