Re: cannot find manpage for 3c509 driver - how to specify "fullduplex " as mediaoption in hostname.if for this NIC ?

[Chuck Yerkes <chuck+obsd_(_at_)_2002_(_dot_)_snew_(_dot_)_com>]

Pardon me, but AFAIK, the 3c509 is an ISA 10Mb/s card.
It was a nice card, had nice buffering, for ISA.
I don't recall full duplex on these.  If I needed more,
I might blow $40 on a nice 100Mb/s card.
