They won't enable auto negotiation on ASMI52 :-(
So I tried using sk0 and it gives the connection with
sk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:0f:3d:88:9e:d4
priority: 0
groups: egress
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX half-duplex)
status: active
so after giving " media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"
it gives
sk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:0f:3d:88:9e:d4
priority: 0
groups: egress
media: Ethernet 100baseTX full-duplex
status: active
Thanks a million :-) But it still shows packet loss 2-3 % guess it
would be some thing else :-)
thanks a lot again!!!
