Please help me to fix it. I will test patches.


I don't follow what you're trying here.  You should have both sides
set to autodetect, or neither side set for it.  [That's not always
necessary, but it's a good idea.]


Sorry for my English.
The problem not in autodetection stuff.

The problem is in fxp(4) dirver, that doesn't detect/show all available 
media types on the NIC. It shows only "media manual".


Other well supported Intel 82559-based PCI Card shows like that:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig fxp0
fxp0: flags=9943 
mtu 1500

options=8
ether 00:03:47:e3:7d:c8
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX )
status: active
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig -m fxp0
fxp0: flags=9943 
mtu 1500

options=8
capabilities=8
ether 00:03:47:e3:7d:c8
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX )
status: active
supported media:
media autoselect
media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
media 100baseTX
media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
media 10baseT/UTP
media none
media 100baseTX mediaopt hw-loopback


The autodetection problem solved easily with correct cable and setting 
switch to 'auto speed/auto duplex'.


However, it is not possible to select other than 'auto' mode on 
ICH7-based fxp1 interface, scince only 'manual' available.


That's my request for help - add support to fxp(4) for ICH7-based NIC 
for the full range of media types.


Excuse my English again, thanks!
