ifconfig + autosense

Hi,

I have two openbsd servers plugged in the same switch 10/100. I noticed
that one machine have his ethernet nic configured correctly, i.e.,
100baseTX and full-duplex. The other machine not. Both have the same
ethernet card (3Com - xl0) and identical /etc/hostname.xl0 files.

Below is the output of 'ifconfig -a':

machine A:

xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        media: Ethernet 10baseT (10baseT half-duplex)
                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
machine B:

xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

How turn autoselect on in machine A ?

thanks.
