That script is rather brute force and it doesn't really answer the question. Cassy want to autonegotiate.

Cassy, that error message means that the hme driver is not loaded into the kernel. Hopefully, this is because you don't have an hme card. To find out what you do have, use:
netstat -in
and look at the first column, which is "Name". Ignore the lo0 interface, that is a loopback that enables the box to send tcp/ip to itself. Any other lines are actual interfaces. If you actually have a "hme0" or "hme1" or something, I'm going to very confused given that error message.

I guess I'll assume that you have a "qfe0". (Note that if you have a "le0", you have a very old card that can only do 10/half-duplex.)

To see the speed on qfe0, do:
ndd -set /dev/qfe instance 0
ndd -get /dev/qfe link_speed

With qfe a "1" means 100 and a "0" means 10. But each driver is a little different, this may not hold true for other cards.

Also,
ndd -get /dev/qfe \?
will show all the parameters in the qfe driver.

One of them is "adv_autoneg_cap". This controls whether or not the card is advertising autonegotiate.

Another is "lp_autoneg_cap". This is read-only but it shows you if your link partner has advertised autonegotiate.

hme

HME(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    HME(4)

NAME

     hme -- Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Ethernet interfaces device driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device miibus
	   device hme

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_hme_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The hme driver supports Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ ``Happy Meal Ethernet'' Fast Ethernet interfaces.

     All controllers supported by the hme driver have TCP checksum offload capability for both receive and transmit, support for the reception and
     transmission of extended frames for vlan(4) and a 128-bit multicast hash filter.

HARDWARE

     The hme driver supports the on-board Ethernet interfaces of many Sun UltraSPARC workstation and server models.

     Cards supported by the hme driver include:

     o	 Sun PCI SunSwift Adapter (``SUNW,hme'')
     o	 Sun SBus SunSwift Adapter (``hme'' and ``SUNW,hme'')
     o	 Sun PCI Sun100BaseT Adapter 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
     o	 Sun SBus Sun100BaseT 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
     o	 Sun PCI Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'')
     o	 Sun SBus Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'')

NOTES

     On sparc64 the hme driver respects the local-mac-address? system configuration variable which can be set in the Open Firmware boot monitor
     using the setenv command or by eeprom(8).	If set to ``false'' (the default), the hme driver will use the system's default MAC address for
     all of its devices.  If set to ``true'', the unique MAC address of each interface is used if present rather than the system's default MAC
     address.

     Supported interfaces having their own MAC address include on-board versions on boards equipped with more than one Ethernet interface and all
     add-on cards except the single-port SBus versions.

HISTORY

     The hme driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.  The first FreeBSD version to include it was FreeBSD 5.0.

AUTHORS

     The hme driver was written by Paul Kranenburg <pk@NetBSD.org>.
