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.

XIRC2PS_CS(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual						     XIRC2PS_CS(4)

NAME

       xirc2ps_cs - Xircom CE2ps (and newer) device driver

SYNOPSIS

       insmod xirc2ps_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [full_duplex=n] [irq_list=i,j,...]  [if_port=n] [lockup_hack=n]

DESCRIPTION

       xirc2ps_cs  is  the low-level Card Services driver for the Xircom 16-bit PCMCIA ethernet adapters.  When this driver is attached to a card,
       it allocates the next available ethernet device.

PARAMETERS

       pc_debug=n
	      Selects the PCMCIA debugging level.  This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled.  A  non-zero
	      value enables debugging.

       if_port=n
	      Selects  the transceiver type, for some CE3B-100 cards that lack the ability to autonegotiate.  For such cards, a value of 1 selects
	      10baseT, and 4 selects 100baseT.

       full_duplex=n
	      Selects full duplex mode.  The default is 0 (half duplex).

       irq_list=i,j,...
	      Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver.

       lockup_hack=n
	      Enables a hack to avoid lockups on some cards.	Use this only if you really have lockup problems with your card.

       cardmgr(8), pcmcia(5).
