On recently installed BSD system I found my NIC only does
10BaseT.  It is pretty old.  Should I ditch this interface?

bsd1# ifconfig -m xl0
xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:60:08:cf:6b:69
        media: Ethernet 10baseT (10baseT half-duplex)
        supported media:
                media 10baseT
                media 10baseT mediaopt half-duplex
		media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex
	        media 10base5 
		media 10base2
        inet 192.168.1.101 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        inet6 fe80::260:8ff:fecf:6b69%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

Moving forward in pushing back the envelope of the corporate paradigm.
