It was noted that there was an ongoing bug in the ifconfig output which
permanently says simplex regardless of whether the nic is working half or
full duplex. It was also the opinion that fastfd in SRM plus speed 200 in
rc.config ifconfig int line were correct.
However, Harald said to try auto at SRM plus speed 200 and bingo, up came
the switch led fd light on the circuit. Note particularly that several
posts to this group emphasise never to use auto on 100mb cards so this may
be an exception caused by the type of switch used (Alfa).
We are now going ahead with the remaining five machines.
