Re: kernel problem in nsphy0 at xl0 phy 24

[Condor <condor@vcable.net>]

In other end of cable i have Cisco Catalyst 3550-48 XL Switch. Yes i try to set autoselect in my nic card, but i unable to set it after this with obsd to 100 mbps full duplex, only work when i not set any parameter in hostname.xl0 (eg. media and media-opt) and card is initialized with default mode (when i set to nic card) In same switch i have one winxp pc (512 mb ram/ 2 Gh CPU), one linux server with slackware 8.1 and one obsd 3.2 server.
obsd server is p4 2 GHz, 3com NIC, 512 mb ram, 30 GB hdd
linux server is p3 1 GHz, realtec 8139 NIC, 128 mb ram, 10 GB hdd.
 My upload speed from xp to slack is 5600-6500 kb/s, but from XP to obsd is 650-1000 kb/s (max). I change switch, ports, cables, nic cards, but problem not resolved. My ideas is over where can be this problem. (sorry of my bad english)
Hm... i now remember that i have one 3com card with different chip version (xlphy0 is initialiezed) and i set this card to 100 mpbs full duplex but problem with speed is not resolved.

Condor
