Managers,

I have a sunfire v120 running solaris 9.

I manually set the speed on the nic card you can use the
following command:

ndd -set /dev/eri adv_autoneg_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/eri adv_10hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/eri adv_10fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/eri adv_100hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/eri adv_100fdx_cap 1

I also added this to the /etc/system file to make to setting permenant
So it would be set correctly on reboot.

set eri:eri_adv_100fdx_cap=1
set eri:eri_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set eri:eri_adv_10fdx_cap=0
set eri:eri_adv_10hdx_cap=0
set eri:eri_adv_autoneg_cap=0

But when I rebooted the server and checked to nic configuration, all the
setting were reset to 1

ndd -get /dev/eri adv_autoneg_cap
1
ndd -get /dev/eri adv_10hdx_cap
1
ndd -get /dev/eri adv_10fdx_cap
1
ndd -get /dev/eri adv_100hdx_cap
1
ndd -get /dev/eri adv_100fdx_cap
1

Anything thoughts on what might be causing this to happen?

Also I have an older ultra 1 that has solaris 9 loaded on it. It's nic is
the /dev/le0 type

When I try to check the nic speed / settings I get this error any thoughts?

ndd -get /dev/le adv_10fdx_cap
Operation failed: Invalid arguement

Thanks,

Mike
