Thanks, tried this but same error.
hulk# ifconfig nfe0 10.202.77.110 media 1000baseTX
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured
hulk$ man nfe
The nfe driver supports the following media types:
autoselect Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
10baseT/UTP Set 10Mbps operation.
100baseTX Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
1000baseT Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) operation (recent models
only).
The nfe driver supports the following media options:
half-duplex Force half duplex operation.
full-duplex Force full duplex operation.
Also for some strange reason I lost a couple of ip aliases and my default
route whilst trying to change the media and mediaopt.
I start to wonder if the combination 1000baseT and half duplex is
possible. However setting the NIC manually to 1000baseT doesnt work
either. IF set to autoselect it does negotiate to 1000baseT as I can see
on the switch.
Thanks
