X4100 and e1000g duplex issues

Hi all,

SunOS hostname 5.10 Generic_Patch i86pc i386 i86pc

I have a problem with the e1000g NIC on a Sun Fire X4100 : I cannot work
out for the life of me how to show what duplex the card is running in.

I've tried the advice at
http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2005-February/006136.html
, however this only returns the ifspeed information - there is nothing
to be found for 'duplex' :

$ kstat e1000g | egrep -i '(duplex|ifspeed)'
        ifspeed 100000000
        ifspeed 100000000

Going through the kstat output manually also reveals nothing - plenty of
other statistics, but nothing relating to duplex. The man page likewise
has no suggestions. Any ideas ? I will of course summarise.

Thanks,
