	Hello,

I'm trying to get the "be" in my SPARCStation LX sbus card working on a
100FDX switch - it is a Fiberline FL-2008NS if that matters. The kernel
- it's NetBSD 1.5Y - reports a valid carrier:

# ifconfig be0
be0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 08:00:20:1f:60:6d
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX half-duplex)
        status: active
        inet 192.168.25.42 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.25.255
        inet6 fe80::a00:20ff:fe1f:606d%be0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3

Nevertheless I can't get a single packet through. I even tried to
configure the card to 10MBit/Sec but it didn't help.

Any ideas? Are there perhaps jumpers which need to be set?

	Kind regards
