NVidia card not recognized as gigabit

Hi All-

I just got finished installing pfSense 1.2.3 rc3 on to my shiny new acer AspireRevo 1600.

It has a built-in 10/100/1000 network card, which shows up in the dmesg as:

nfe0: <nvidia nforce="" mcp79="" networking="" adapter="">port 0xd080-0xd087 mem 0xfae7d000-0xfae7dfff,0xfae7e800-0xfae7e8ff,0xfae7e400-0xfae7e40f irq 21 at device 10.0 on pci0
miibus1: <mii bus="">on nfe0

ifconfig is showing it as 100mb:

nfe0: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 1500
options=10b <rxcsum,txcsum,vlan_mtu,tso4>ether 00:22:68:68:ec:7c
inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::222:68ff:fe68:ec7c%nfe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active

Any idea how I can force it to be recognized as gigabit?

The specs clearly say that it should be gigabit, and it was recognized as such when I booted to XP (before I nuked that ;))

Here is what shows from pciconf -lv :

nfe0@pci0:0:10:0: class=0x020000 card=0x02221025 chip=0x0ab010de rev=0xb1 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernet

Many thanks,

I edited the config.xml, and set it to 1000 Mb:

Is that the right way to do this?

ifconfig is showing you the current link speed, not the speed it is capable of. I assume you have the card attached to a 100Mbps switch, hence it showing a 100Mbps link.

No, it is attached to a gigabit switch.

after reloading with the above config, it now shows:

nfe0: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 1500
options=10b <rxcsum,txcsum,vlan_mtu,tso4>ether 00:22:68:68:ec:7c
