O fount of knowledge, I'm stuck.
I've got gndv# ifconfig fxp0 fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 172.x.x.188 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 172.255.255.255 inet6 fe80::230:64ff:fe01:86ff%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:30:64:01:86:ff media: Ethernet manual (gndv is a 'generic networking device', a custom built embedded system based on a pentium III board) I'm trying gndv# ifconfig fxp0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex I'm being told ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured while dmesg says gndv# dmesg | grep fxp0 fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> port 0xd400-0xd43f mem 0xe7200000-0xe72fffff,0xe7302000-0xe7302fff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci0 fxp0: Ethernet address 00:30:64:01:86:ff, 10Mbps Any of the media/opt types give the same response. This is identical for each of the five fxp devices on the board (three on-board, two additional on a PCI card). Am I misinterpreting the comment 'Device not configured'? Because the behavior is identical with all five ethernet devices on the gndv, I'm assuming the problem is my kernel config (4.8R), with the rc.conf setup, or something equally generic to the entire system. I have tried, however, running the same kernel on a straight PC clone (also 4.8R) with three network ports (rl0, fxp0 and fxp1) and was able to ifconfig the media and mediaopts on the fxp devices without any trouble. I'd welcome some suggestions about where to look for a solution to this issue.
