They won't enable auto negotiation on ASMI52 :-(

So I tried using sk0 and it gives the connection with

sk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        lladdr 00:0f:3d:88:9e:d4
        priority: 0
        groups: egress
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX half-duplex)
        status: active

so after giving " media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"

it gives

sk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        lladdr 00:0f:3d:88:9e:d4
        priority: 0
        groups: egress
        media: Ethernet 100baseTX full-duplex
        status: active

Thanks a million :-) But it still shows packet loss 2-3 % guess it
would be some thing else :-)

thanks a lot again!!!
