Solaris 10 Speed and Duplex Settings: bge
Evening,

I am attempting to change the speed and duplex settings on a single interface on a bge card on an m3000 SPARC server. Currently the settings are as follows:

Code:
bge0            link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
bge1            link: up        speed: 100   Mbps       duplex: half
bge2            link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
bge3            link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown
nxge0           link: down      speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
nxge1           link: up        speed: 100   Mbps       duplex: full
nxge2           link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
nxge3           link: down      speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full

I would like to change the bge1 interface to full duplex permanently. I read that I could make changes to the /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/bge.conf file to make this permanent, however all of our attempts have not yielded the expected results.

Additional Information:

Code:
root@dssbfw101a.myhughesnet.com$ grep bge /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/network@4" 0 "bge"
"/pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/network@4,1" 1 "bge"
"/pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@2/pci@0/network@4" 2 "bge"
"/pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@2/pci@0/network@4,1" 3 "bge"

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD

bge

BGE(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    BGE(4)

NAME

     bge -- Broadcom BCM570x family Gigabit Ethernet driver

SYNOPSIS

     bge* at pci? dev ? function ?

     Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary.  See mii(4).

DESCRIPTION

     The bge device driver supports Gigabit Ethernet interfaces based on the Broadcom BCM570x family of Gigabit Ethernet chips and the BCM5906
     chip.  The interfaces supported by the bge driver include:

     o	 3Com 3c996-T (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T)

     o	 Dell PowerEdge 2550 integrated BCM5700 NIC (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T)

     o	 IBM x235 server integrated BCM5703x NIC (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T)

     o	 Netgear GA302T (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T)

     o	 SysKonnect SK-9D21 (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T)

     o	 SysKonnect SK-9D41 (1000BASE-SX)

     The BCM570x family supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware.  The bge driver supports this feature of the chip.  See ifconfig(8) for
     information on how to enable this feature.

     The level of interrupt mitigation for received packets can be adjusted with the hw.bge.rx_lvl sysctl(8) control.  A value of 1 yields a bge
     interrrupt for every two full-sized Ethernet frames.  Each increment of the value will, roughly, halve receive interrupt rate, up to a maxi-
     mum of 5, which interrupts about every 30 to 40 full-sized TCP segments.

HISTORY

     The bge driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.6.1.

     The bge driver was written by Bill Paul <wpaul@windriver.com> for FreeBSD and ported to NetBSD by Frank van der Linden
