Disabling autosense on NIC

Willem

I am getting no carrier on the WAN, right after plugging in WAN it loses connection. I have tried to change config.xml like;

<media>100 base TX
<mediaopt>full duplex</mediaopt>

Looking at ifconfig its says autoselect none</media>

Try a crossover cable.

I doubt that these options are correct. Did you run ifconfig -m to see the valid options for your NIC?
For example, a sis interface on a wrap shows these options:


sis0: flags=8943 <up,broadcast,running,promisc,simplex,multicast>mtu 1500
	options=8 <vlan_mtu>capabilities=48 <vlan_mtu,polling>inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
	inet6 fe80::20d:b9ff:fe01:2c8%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 
	ether 00:0d:b9:01:02:c8
	media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
	status: no carrier
	supported media:
		media autoselect
		media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
		media 100baseTX
		media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
		media 10baseT/UTP</vlan_mtu,polling></vlan_mtu></up,broadcast,running,promisc,simplex,multicast>

You have to enter the options in exactly the same way they are output here, without spaces.

But first do what Scott recommended, use a crossovercable and see if that makes a difference. Hardcoding settings usually causes just problems if not both sides are hardcoded.
