Yes its in simplex mode, but this parameter is NOT related to half/full
duplex on the port.

Check this output from my FreeBSD box:
%ifconfig -a
sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.1.1.254 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255
        inet6 fe80::202:e3ff:fe23:e028%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:02:e3:23:e0:28
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

Its the media line you should check!

The SIMPLEX in flags is wheter the interface hears its own transmissions
or not.
