[Sunhelp] Replacing ethernet card.

[Fuerst, Robert C. (Chris)]

Sounds that easy but I would have a /etc/system file with the following
already in place:

* NDD params for 100baseT/Full Duplex
       set hme0:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
       set hme0:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=1
       set hme0:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
       set hme0:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
       set hme0:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=0
       set hme0:tcp_xmit_hiwat=65535
       set hme0:tcp_recv_hiwat=65535
       set hme0:tcp_cwnd_hiwat=65534
       set hme0:nautopush=32
       set hme0:maxusers=40
       set hme0:max_nprocs=2048
       set hme0:maxuprc=100
       set hme0:ncsize=10240

You really only need lines 1-5 to play with.  Every time you can reboot and
try to get the box up to 100 full by changing the 0's to 1's and the 1's to
zero's.  I am not even sure if the other lines (6-13) increase speed or not.
I'm trying to figure out what you gained by putting a 10 card in it in the
first place if your not using it for another interface?  If it is then
you'll need a hme0 and a hme1.

	I'm replacing my 10Mb le1 ethernet card with a 100Mb hme0 card
tomorrow, and
	wondering about the best way to do it under Solaris 8 (SS20, if it
matters).

	Might it be as simple as deleting the hostname.le1 file, adding a
hostname.hme0,
	downing the box, replacing the interface, booting, and plumbing
hme0?

	There are no routes on this interface other than the default static
that Solaris
	assigns, nor any DHCP, ipfilter, or other services.

	Suggestions?

	KeS
