>Description:
I have a Realtek 8029 Ethernet on ne0 on my alpha.  According to ifconfig -m,
and Jason Thorpe, this card should support full duplex.  (yes, I have a
switch that suppots it.)

Unfortunately, I cannot activate full duplex on this card for some reason.
When i se the mediaopt to FDX, it never lights the FDX lights on the switch,
and ttcp tests do not show any improvement.

giauzar# ifconfig -m ne0
ne0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT)
        supported Ethernet media:
                media 10base2
                media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex
                media 10baseT
                media autoselect
        inet 192.168.10.12 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255

	
>How-To-Repeat:
insert Realtek 8029 card, and type ifconfig ne0 media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex
lose.
