Solved [Solved] Orange light from Ethernet port

[alie]

Hi,

I have solid orange light from my Gigabit ethernet port, is that means I am on 100 instead of 1000?

Here is my ifconfig():

# ifconfig em0
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=4219b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MAGIC,VLAN_HWTSO>
        ether 00:1e:67:b7:de:1f
        inet 192.168.77.253 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.77.255
        nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
        status: active

That depends on the card. Some indicate 1000M that way. Your ifconfig(8) says you're connected with Gigabit (1000baseT) in any case.
