I don't see much in the 'ndd' (or 'ce') man page that would point someone unfamiliar with the procedure to the correct parameters.

The solaris 2 FAQ is probably a better resource.

ndd /dev/ce \?

will show you all of the configurable settings for the interface. You then need to disable or enable which ones you need.

eg (it may be different for a ce driver)

ndd -set /dev/ce adv_100fdx_cap 1

ndd -set /dev/ce adv_autoneg_cap 0

But you need to put these in a startup script in rc* as these settings will be lost after a reboot.

you can also force these settings with some /etc/system parameters, thus bypassing additional start up scripts.

add the following to /etc/system for your particular interface

set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0

set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0

set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1

set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0

set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0

set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0

The settings in /etc/system don't show how to set the network speeds differently for TWO hme interface cards (motherboard and PCI SCSI/Ethernet card)
