I put in a new 4801 RELENG_8 image at a remote site that requires the 
NIC set to 10baseT full duplex, manually set.  However, when I do 
that, I am not sure what to make of the output.


0[to]# ifconfig sis0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
0[to]# ifconfig sis0
sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
         options=80008<VLAN_MTU,LINKSTATE>
         ether 00:00:24:d8:aa:e0
         inet 192.168.123.210 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 192.168.123.215
         media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> (10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>)
         status: active
0[to]#

What does the half-duplex portion mean ?

I am seeing errors as well in netstat
