unplug either end and plug it into my ibook (OS X) the status changes

both both freebsd computers have working ethernet cards and the cable
works also, just not freebsd-freebsd.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be the case and how to fix it?

bad cable or not swapped at all.

between 2 computers you have to make swapped cable on one side put green
pair in place of yellow, yellow in place of green, brown in place of blue
and blue in place of brown.

If it's 10 or 100 Mbps ethernet blue&brown doesn't matter, only 2 pairs
are used.


The cable works find and so does the network card. I have it plugged
into my ibook and am sshing across it - everything works fine and as
it should when using freebsd to osx, just can't do the same from
freebsd to freebsd.
