Bill,

Firstly, a great job on the rl driver (I'm amazed that you have made
it this good considering the hardware).

Anyway my problem is that since the rl driver has required "controller
miibus0" in the kernel it has not auto-negotiated its network link
properly for me (though I do appreciate the fast kernel probe time ;).

It seems to be defaulting to full duplex now when it wasn't before
the "controller miibus0" stuff went in.

I find that I now have to change my /etc/rc.conf line
from: ifconfig_rl0="inet 10.0.0.27 netmask 255.0.0.0"
to:   ifconfig_rl0="inet 10.0.0.27 netmask 255.0.0.0 media 10BaseT/UTP
-mediaopt full-duplex"

Interestingly "mediaopt half-duplex" doesn't work with error:
"ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured"

Is this all expected behaviour ?

If I dont do the above, I get terrible ftp speeds on my local 10BaseT/UTP
network (3 KB/sec instead of the 1 MB/sec I am used to).

I have a 3COM Linkbuilder hub and two machines.
My old machine is a P150 with an NE2000 clone.
My new machine is a PII Celeron 450 with a RealTek 8139 (a SureCom
Networks SN5000 card  - but that wont mean anything as I bought it
because it wasn't a RealTek when my friend bought it... it was a
VIA Rhine then.... I was really trying to avoid a RealTek!!).

My kernel from before the move to the "controller miibus0" stuff works
fine without any media options.

Dmesg and kernel config file attached.

Thanks in advance.

CCd to the list for the benefit of others.
