| I did it a while back, but I forgot which file I should edit.
I need to change one of my Sun Solaris2.6 system to 100Mbps/half-duplx.
Would anyone give me a pointer?
Thanks.

Start with "ndd /dev/hme0 \?" to see what settings are available then
read the
man page for both ndd and hme to see what numbers mean.
Once you get the two commands to force it to those two values, you will
want to put them in a script in /etc/rc1.d or similar so it survives
reboots.
Are you *certain* you want half duplex? That's for hubs not for most
switches.
it you're forcing your switch to half duplex, okay, just sure to triple
check
on the switch side.

There are a couple of useful documents on sunsolve that describe this
in detail. Go to http://sunsolve.sun.com/ and search for the
following:
documentid:16144 documentid:2605
Document 16144 describes how to set full or half duplex using either
ndd, /etc/system, or /kernel/drv/[hme,qfe].conf files. Document 2605
is an older version with a little less info.

I agree. Also, the order of the ndd commands is important. Sun says:
"Perform adv_autoneg_cap 0 last!"
Make sure you do the ndd changes from the console in case you lose your
network connection when you disable autoneg.
