The tcp driver won't know the link speed. How could it? There could be many links. You have to ask the card's driver.

ndd /dev/qfe instance n -get \?

would show the possible parameters for a qfe card. But unless you're already familiar with the qfe driver, you would probably do a "man qfe" first. And in any event you're back to needing to know the driver's name.

hme

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

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

     hme* at pci? dev ? function ?
     hme* at sbus? slot ? offset ?

DESCRIPTION

     The hme driver supports Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Fast Ethernet interfaces.

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:

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

     The STP2002 family supports hardware checksumming to assist in computing IPv4 TCP/UDP checksums.  The hme driver supports this feature of the
     chip.  See ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature.

HISTORY

     The hme driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.

AUTHORS

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

BUGS

     Connecting a MII transceiver on those cards that support it will cause the RJ45 connector to be detected as PHY instance 1, instead of the
     default instance 0.
