Thanks for all the replies.

It seems that the real answer was to put the line with the
hme_adv_autoneg_cap
setting last in the sequence like this:

set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap = 1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap = 1

I think it might have worked if I set that parameter to 0 also
but since I made the hardware advertise that the other modes
were not available, it "auto-negotiated" the only place it
could. All seems to be running well at this time.

Original POST:

I have an Ultra-10 running Solaris 8. I recently tried adding the following
lines to my
/etc/system file to force it to always connect at 100mps full duplex.

set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap = 1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap = 0

Then rebooted my system. it is now running like a snail.
Can anybody see something I have done wrong or have suggestions how I
might correct the problem?
