The speeds, in order of attempt, are: +100Mb/s Full Duplex, 100Mb/s Half Duplex, 10 Mb/s Full Duplex, and +10 Mb/s Half Duplex. +.Pp +The +.Nm +supports several media types, which are selected via the +.Xr ifconfig 8 +command. +The supported media types are: +.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -offset indent +.It media autoselect +Attempt to autoselect the media type (default) +.It media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex +Use 100baseTX, full duplex +.It media 100baseTX Op mediaopt half-duplex +Use 100baseTX, half duplex +.It media 100baseTX mediaopt loopback +Put the interface into loopback mode +.It media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex +Use 10baseT, full duplex +.It media 10baseT Op mediaopt half-duplex +Use 10baseT, half duplex +.It media 10baseT mediaopt loopback +Put the interface into loopback mode +.El +.Sh DIAGNOSTICS +.Bl -diag +.It "tx%d: device timeout %d packets" +The device stopped responding.
