These settings in /etc/system seem to work for us.

                We are running to SUN Servers E4500 with two gigibit cards
in each server. One
                is a master and the other is a slave. Currently the cards
are set to
                auto-negotiate. Does anyone know what the settings would be
to force tmen to
                full? We tried these settings from Veritas but they did not
work.

                Thanks

                First we tried a regular boot:

                We also tried a reconfiguration boot (boot -r):

                In both cases auto-negotiation was clearly still being used:
