Thank you Pyun for patch.
Yesterday we applied benno's patch (here info
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=118238) with good result.
After patching, autoselect was set half-duplex. We did some benchmarks for ethernet.
if autoselected half-duplex, than errors on interface.
But we use ifconfig mediaopt to set full-duplex.
And no errors or collisions was founded, so we think it
is possible to use on productions.
But we will try your patch tomorrow too.
