[pfSense Support] Reduce WAN NIC to 10Mbps?

2007-06-14 Thread Tortise
Hi

My ISP researching a problem with packet loss advises me to: Set your firewall 
for 10mbps full-duplex, auto negotiation off, and 
then run your tests again.  This is presumably to match their 10M Wireless 
Gateway.

Can we do this somehow?  I am running dc class NIC's.

Kind regards
David Hingston

Have a look at http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook-single/#FAQ.hiddenopts .
These options apply to pfSense as well. You can hardcode the speed and
duplex by adding the appropriate flag to your downloaded config.xml and
reupload it again.

# interfaces/(if)/media and interfaces/(if)/mediaopt

If you need to force your NIC to a specific media type (e.g. 10Base-T
half duplex), you can use these two options. Refer to the appropriate
FreeBSD manpage for the driver you're using to see which options are
available (or run ifconfig -m).
