Don't worry about hme0/e1000g0, They are just "names" that identify network interfaces. hme0 is generally used on SPARC Hw. Depending the NIC card you have, the driver you use, then the name you use to configure a network interface. There are many other different names like qfe or ge for instance.

Dear Reader,
I have a very unique problem. Quite often my on board ethernet port( hme0 ) related message is appearing in /var/adm/messages.
The message is hme0: babble.. The port is up and alive.
What does this message mean.. Is the on board port is about to fail??
Thanks in advance, (2 Replies)
