OK, more things have been tried. Thanks to Glenn, Lance and Paul for
timely feedback and suggestions.
Have tried adding both :-
set bge:adv_10fdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_10hdx_cap=1
... and ...
set bge0:adv_10fdx_cap=0
set bge0:adv_10hdx_cap=1
... to /etc/system, no avail. Also tried adding the relevant parameters
to bge.conf, again with no joy.
Glenn suggested an init script, but this is a firewall-type machine, and
I'm a little worried of the effect of the firewall software seeing the
interface vanish just after every reboot.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks again,
Nathan

Subject: bge interface speed on SunFire v210?
Hi all,
(Running a shniy new SunFire v210, with "entire software group" Sol 9
04/03)
Quick question - anyone got a working config for a bge.conf file? I'm
trying to get it to talk to a 10Mb, half duplex hub. I've tried...
Reading 'man 7D bge', which is the usual slightly-obfuscated
documentation.
Reading docs.sun.com, which has some interesting typoes in the driver
config pages.
Setting it with the following lines in /etc/system -
Attempt 1 :-
forceload: dev/bge
set bge:adv_autoneg_cap=0
set bge:adv_1000fdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_1000hdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_100fdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_100hdx_cap=0
Attempt 2 :-
forceload: dev/bge
set bge:instance=0
set bge:adv_autoneg_cap=0
set bge:adv_1000fdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_1000hdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_100fdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_100hdx_cap=0
Attempt 3 :-
forceload: dev/bge
set bge0:adv_autoneg_cap=0
set bge0:adv_1000fdx_cap=0
set bge0:adv_1000hdx_cap=0
set bge0:adv_100fdx_cap=0
set bge0:adv_100hdx_cap=0
Also tried making a bge.conf file. The following file, located in
/kernel/drv, /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv (not a symlink, an actual copy)...
name = "SUNW,bge" parent = "/pci@1f,700000" unit-address = "2,0"
adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=0 adv_1000hdx_cap=0 adv_100fdx_cap=0
adv_100hdx_cap=0;
...variations "2" and "2,0" for the unit-address. with the following
"bge" lines from /etc/path_to_inst...
"/pci@1f,700000/network@2" 0 "bge"
"/pci@1f,700000/network@2,1" 1 "bge"
"/pci@1d,700000/network@2" 2 "bge"
"/pci@1d,700000/network@2,1" 3 "bge"
At wits end. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
