    I used to have two ifconfig lines in my rc.conf:
    ifconfig_dc0="DHCP"
    ifconfig_dc0="media autoselect"

    The first to enable DHCP and the second to set my networkcard to 100BaseTX
    full duplex.

    Now after an upgrade to 4.10-release this doesn't work anymore. When I put
    both lines in rc.conf only the second line is effective and overrides the
    first, but I want to use both DHCP and 100BaseTX. I need to use the "media
    autoselect" because the networkcard defaults to 10BaseT but I want to use
    100Mbit. When I don't use DHCP the network is unreachable. Pinging then
    gives a "no route to host".

    How do I solve this problem?
