<DIV></DIV>The NIC on the SS5 is only capable of 10Mbit. 
<DIV></DIV>You can add another Sbus card that has an hme port for 
<DIV></DIV>100Mbit. Just use the hme instead of the le0. Don't 
<DIV></DIV>assign any information to /etc/hostname.le0 and it is 
<DIV></DIV>basically disabled. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Here is a script that I use to check our servers. You 
<DIV></DIV>will need to modify the interface name as required, 
<DIV></DIV>i.e. hme,le, qfe, etc. 
<DIV></DIV>Some where I have a fancier version, but this gives 
<DIV></DIV>you the basics.

<DIV></DIV>> Hi, 
<DIV></DIV>> I was wondering if anyway knows how I can tell the

<DIV></DIV>> network but we are thinking 
<DIV></DIV>> of getting some new equipment so that we can upgrade 
<DIV></DIV>> to 100Mbit. Also We have 
<DIV></DIV>> a SPARC Station 5 that has a NIC that looks built 
<DIV></DIV>> into the motherboard. Is 
<DIV></DIV>> there any way to disable that NIC and install one 
<DIV></DIV>> capable of 100Mbits (if this 
<DIV></DIV>> one is not, as right now I don't know how to check 
<DIV></DIV>> what speed a card is capable
