i am just installing a few SMC EtherPower PCI cards into boxes running
2.1.5-RELEASE. this cards are 10/100Mbps auto-switching and are based
on the 21140 chip set.

the OS probes the cards currently and installs the de0 driver. unfortunately
i have not found a way to force the cards to work at 10Mbps.

is there anything i must change or set in the kernel config file to force
de0 to run at 10Mbps?
