This item is probably number 2 in the Snn Managers FAQ after "How do I put a
big IDE drive in an Ultra5?"

The first reboot after the reinstall there was a 100mbps connection, but
after
the reset I lost the connection.  So, I entered these strings... and the
subsequent reboot activated hme0, but it was still restricted to a 10mbps
connection.

Another thing if you guys don't mind.  Where did you learn about these
things? 
I'm enrolled in the "Fundamentals of Solaris8 Operating Environment for
System
Administrators" (SA-118).  I've even looked at the Sys Admin I curriculum,
and
again, there is no mention of any of this.
