| 100BaseTX | Select 100Mbps operation. |
Note that 100BaseTX operation is not available on CE2-class cards, while the 10Base2/BNC mode is only available on CE2-class cards. Full-duplex operation is currently not supported. For more information on configuring network interface devices, see ifconfig(8).
Other similar devices using the same hardware may also be supported.
