Here are two scripts I wrote a while back that checks the current state
of the NIC and the other adjusts it.

Ray,=20
Thanks for the response. I gave it a try but my restore was no faster.=20
I noticed that there is a external procedure for setting the NIC.=20
# Interface name of the network card that will be forced to communicate=20
# at 100Mbps/Full Duplex=20
#Interface=3Dhme=20
# Instance of the network card that will be forced to communicate=20
# at 100Mbps/Full Duplex=20
#Instance=3D0=20
if [ -a -n "${Interface}" -a -n "${Instance}" ]; then=20
# Added code to get the interface settings=20
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_100T4_cap=20
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_100fdx_cap=20
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_100hdx_cap=20
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_10fdx_cap=20
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_10hdx_cap=20
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_autoneg_cap=20
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} instance ${Instance}=20
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_100T4_cap 0=20
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_100fdx_cap 1=20
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_100hdx_cap 0=20
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_10fdx_cap 0=20
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_10hdx_cap 0=20
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_autoneg_cap 0=20
fi=20
So i guess i'm back testing the NIC.=20
Would someone know how to get a shell?=20
Do i just type in sh or ksh?=20
Thanks,=20
