Hi,I just started using a aue(4) device. Now I am a bit confused about full-duplex / half-duplex operation. The manpage states: full-duplex Force full duplex operation. The interface will operate in half duplex mode if this media option is not specified. But for me ifconfig aue0 says: aue0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:05:1b:e5:9a:02 priority: 0 groups: egress media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active inet6 fe80::205:1bff:fee5:9a02%aue0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 inet 192.168.1.37 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 My hostname.aue0 just says "dhcp". Nothing about full-duplex. Which one is wrong now? Manpage or ifconfig?
Neither. You're not understanding the man page correctly and took that piece of the page out of context. The manual duplex setting goes along with the two manual speed selections listed above that in the man page. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
