Hello, In man pages, dmesg and ifconfig of FreeBSD5, GbE operation over twisted pair is mostly referred as '1000baseTX'. I guess most of them should be replaced by '1000baseT'. 1000base"TX" and 1000base"T" are different standard and they are not compatible ("TX" needs CAT6 cable and uses pairs in different way). Also 1000baseTX support is very rare yet. I'm sorry I'm not sure if some devices really support "TX".
For example, I have a NIC based on Realtek RTL8169S and its manual says "It supports 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T". In dmesg: rgephy0: <RTL8169S/8110S media interface> on miibus1 rgephy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX, 1000baseTX-FDX, auto Regards, -- Yoshiaki Kasahara [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
