Hello,

Setting the interfaces under Sparc one would do something like this:

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

however how does one does the same thing under a Solaris 8 Intel system that has
a iprb and a elxl net-interfaces?

executing ndd does not work, find below the error/output:

/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/elxl0 adv_autoneg_cap 0
couldn't push module 'elxl0', No such device or address

/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/iprb0 adv_autoneg_cap 0
couldn't push module 'iprb0', No such device or address

does it mean this is not possible? and i could only force full-duplex by doing

/kernel/drv/elxl.conf
        add the following line:
        full-duplex=1

/kernel/drv/iprb.conf
        add the follwing line:
        ForceSpeedDuplex=4

the thing is that i want to force all interface to 100Mbps FullDuplex
AND disable auto negotiation.

Does someone know the answer?? maybe replace net-interface with one that
is supported by Sun??

thanks
