Hello,
I've been trying to build a freenas 8 box with an old Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard with 1.5 GB or memory. The 3com and Nvidia onboard Lans were giving me trouble so after much reading, I bought an Intel Gigabit PCI card. The problem I'm having is I can't get the card set to 1000baseTX. When I enter "ifconfig em0 media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" the card stops working.... so to verify, I type ifconfig -a and it reports the card as "1000baseT". My first thought was "I've made a typo" so I did it again.... same thing. I have no idea how to fix this problem... any suggestions? Just FYI, my house is wired cat 5e going through a D-Link Dir-655 gigabit router. I have a 10/100 switch I use to branch off to my TV's, etc... The port from my Desktop to my NAS are connected gigabit all the way.
