By NOT specifying any mediaopt option, you specify half-duplex implicitly. Or you can `subtract' the full-duplex option with -mediaopt full-duplex, as stated earlier. At the moment there are some NICs (fxp, xl, etc) that have this way of specifying half/full-duplex, and some others --not sure which-- don't, so these have an explicit half-duplex mediaopt. The man pages don't always agree with reality, however... :( Cheers, - -- Dimitry Andric [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~dim/dim.asc Fingerprint: 7AB462D2CE35FC6D42394FCDB05EA30A2E2096A3 Lbh ner abj va ivbyngvba bs gur QZPN -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5i Comment: http://www.gn.apc.org/duncan/stoa_cover.htm iQA/AwUBPBlq37BeowouIJajEQId4QCfQtYVs4kxr9Xbd8DXX2p0fX2Lf1cAoOW2 JN5yz90YkVPoVtMnvEQ5ZrMs =45Ke -END PGP SIGNATURE- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

DGI would consider that a bug. Well, in the case of fxp(4), the man page is quite clear: The fxp driver supports the following media options: full-duplex Set full duplex operation (end of list) It doesn't really make sense to have separate options for half and full duplex, because they are mutually exclusive anyway. So one of them was dropped. I'm not sure, but it seems to be the case with all NIC drivers using the common miibus code.

I agree that the two options are mutually exclusive, but I don't agree that it doesn't make sense to have both. It's not clear if there is a default or what it defaults to or when such a default is relevant. There needs to be a half-duplex option to make this explicitly clear in the configuration. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.

??: fxp half-duplex problemm
What if you do ifconfig fxp0 media autoselect I don't undertand. Autoselect is turned on by default. I have full-duplex then. Sem. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

If the switch supports full duplex why would you not want to use it ? It became buggy in full-duplex. It send zerro packets permanently in full-duplex port. Link works but slowlier. Sem. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message
