I have two servers running bsnmpd in FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE here now. Both
have bge gigabit interfaces. 

1) A HP Proliant DL 380 G4 (FreeBSD/i386), with (forced) 100baseTX
full-duplex link:

# ifconfig bge0
bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

        ether 00:14:c2:61:5c:95

2) A HP Proliant DL 385 G1 (FreeBSD/amd64), with gigabit link:

I changed port to 163 cause I am actually using net-snmp snmpd on port
161 still. Anyway, it seems bsnmpd insists these are 10 mbps interfaces?
Why so?
