Full Discussion: Error with ifconfig when attempting to switch to 10baseT
Special Forums IP Networking Error with ifconfig when attempting to switch to 10baseT Post 26040 by RTM on Friday 9th of August 2002 05:31:13 PM

Try changing "ifconfig en0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt half-duplex" to "ifconfig en0 media 10baseT mediaopt half-duplex".

According to the man page - media type:
Set the media type of the interface to type. Some interfaces support the mutually exclusive use of one of several different physical media connectors. For example, a 10Mb/s Ethernet interface might support the use of either AUI or twisted pair connectors. Setting the media type to ``10base5'' or ``AUI'' would change the currently active connector to the AUI port. Setting it to "10baseT" or "UTP" would activate twisted pair. Refer to the interfaces' driver specific man page for a complete list of the available types, or use ifconfig -m interface for a listing of choices.

sm

SM(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						     SM(4)

NAME

     sm -- SMC91Cxx-based Ethernet interfaces device driver

SYNOPSIS

     sm0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10
     sm* at mhzc?
     sm* at pcmcia? function ?
     sm* at nubus?

DESCRIPTION

     The sm device driver supports SMC91C9x-based and SMC91C1xx-based Ethernet interfaces.

     The ISA attachment of the sm driver supports any SMC91C9x-based Ethernet interface on the ISA bus, including the EFA Info*Express SVC VLB
     interface, and the on-board SMC91C9x Ethernet found in many embedded PCs and laptop docking stations.

     The mhzc attachment of the sm driver supports the Megahertz combo Ethernet and modem card.

     The PCMCIA attachment of the sm driver supports Megahertz X-JACK Ethernet cards.

     The nubus attachment of the sm driver supports SMC-based Ethernet cards for the macintosh.

MEDIA SELECTION

     The SMC91C1xx supports the MII interface and so the list of supported media depends on several factors, including which PHY is attached.  The
     SMC91C9x supports AUI and UTP media types.

     To enable the AUI media, select the 10base5 or aui media type with ifconfig(8)'s media directive.	To select UTP, select the 10baseT or utp
     media type.

     ifconfig(8)'s -m option will display the full list of supported media directives for a particular configuration.

DIAGNOSTICS

     sm0: unable to read MAC address from CIS  This indicates that the Ethernet address, which is stored in the CIS information on the Megahertz
     X-JACK PCMCIA Ethernet card, is corrupted.
