    Hello...

            I am trying to use an Intel Pro 1000xf (Multimode fiber/SC connector)
    card on a FreeBSD 4.10 system. The switch (not mine) I need to talk to
    is not configured for auto-negotiation, but forced to 100/full. It is a
    requirement on my side to be able to do this also. My (copper) Intel and broadcom
    NICs do this fine, but the 1000xf errors out.

    ix# ifconfig em0 media 100BaseTX mediaopt full-duplex
    ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured
    ix# ifconfig em0 media 100BaseSX mediaopt full-duplex
    ifconfig: unknown media subtype: 100BaseSX
    ix# ifconfig em0 media 1000BaseSX mediaopt full-duplex
    ix# ifconfig em0
    em0: flags=8846<BROADCAST,DEBUG,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
            options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
            ether 00:07:e9:18:25:d5
            media: Ethernet 1000baseSX <full-duplex> (autoselect)
            status: no carrier
    ix# # 1000 != 100

    em0@pci1:5:0: class=0x020000 card=0x11098086 chip=0x10098086 rev=0x02
    hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
        device = '82544 PRO/1000 XF Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Fiber)'
        class = network
        subclass = ethernet

    Is forcing 100Mbps operation not supported by the card or not supported
    by the driver?

    clue stick?

    em_driver_version[] = "1.7.25";

    Thanks

    p.s. freebsdnic@mailbox.intel.com from man page bounces with MX loops back to me

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
