 Put your ndd settings in a little rc script under the /etc/rc2.d directory. Each
interface is grouped by the "ndd -set /dev/hme instance #" line.

i.e.-    (the following sets /dev/hme0)

  ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
  ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0
  ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100T4_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

        (the following sets /dev/hme1)

  ndd -set /dev/hme instance 1
  ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0
  ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100T4_cap 0
  ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1
  ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 1
  ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0
  ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 0
