I just plugged a BicMac ethernet card into my SS5 running 1.4.2A, and
wonder how to get it doing 100MBd. I've told the switch it's connected to
doing autosensing and also tried hardwiring 100baseTX, but no difference.
The other side is fine with 100MBd.

The card's recognized as:

qec0 at sbus0 slot 2 offset 0x20000: 128K memory
be0 at qec0 slot 0 offset 0x0 level 4 (ipl 7) rev 1 address 08:00:20:20:e2:54
be_tcvr_init: MGMTPAL=fff8<INT_MDIO>

"ifconfig be0" shows:

be0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        media: Ethernet 100baseTX (10baseT half-duplex)
        status: no carrier

Why does it still say "(10baseT half-duplex)" in parantheses, and why does
the status always say "no carrier", though the network is up?

Also, is the funny klicking from some relais(?) on the card normal when
running ifconfig?

Any hints? Thanks!
