Hi All...
Thanks for suggestions ...
Oscar: It's a D-Link D-250 PCI nic (de driver).
The DOS config program reports the NIC to default to
autoselect media type/duplex.
"man de" reports that:
"ifconfig de0 media autoselect mediaopt full-duplex"
should work ... it does not, I get:
"ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured"
BTW - the "-mediaopt" switch turns off features
according to the ifconfig man page. "mediaopt"
(no dash) is the turn on switch :)
Eric: It's a 10/100 switch, with 3 other ports currently
running at 100/full, the hardware works (yes, I
did try swapping cables)
Seigbert: You're a genius! ;-)
Everyone: Does NOT work:
ifconfig de0 media autoselect mediaopt full-duplex
^^^^^^^^^^
Does work:
ifconfig de0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
^^^^^^^^^^^
Oops ;-)
de0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:80:c8:79:8c:4e
media: 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> status: active
supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP
Thanks again everyone for the help!
... Jamie
