Many thanks to the very many who replied (and still are).
Most said the setting should be set to "100FD"
Some said I was editing the wrong file and it should be "
/etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf"
Some gave the command line required for changing the settings. "lanadmin
-X 100FD ppa/nmid".
Some said check for patches required to make this work.
Bill Hassel stated the following:
"The HP-PB card is half-duplex only. HP-PB is very old (and very
clunky)technology. The card and backplane can't begin to keep a 100BaseT
LAN busy (expect a maximum of 35-40 Mbit equivalent throughput).
The HP-PB architecture even prevents higher throughput with more LAN
cards. The aggregate of all HP-PB cards in the system is no more than
40Mbits."

Subject: [HPADM] Configuration setting for HP-PB 100 BASE TX card
Hi,
I have a HP-PB 100 BASE TX card (btlan1) card on a K360 running 10.20. It
is currently set to 10 MBt Half Duplex. I believe this can be set to 100
Mbt Full Duplex. I modified the file /etc/rc.config.d/hpbasetconf to
have the value "HP_BASET_DUPLEX[0]=FD". I was given this value by HP
support. However on reboot this failed with the message "ERROR: Invalid
duplex value [FD] for lan3 interface".
Is this saying that the value "FD" is invalid. If so does anyone know the
correct value to be used here?
Or is it saying that this card cannot be set to 100 Mbt full duplex?
regards,
Julian
