The solution (for me) was to check the status via the ndd command.
Special thanks to Thorsten Biel.
- set the device instance:
ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
this makes the next commands apply to hme0. Similarly, to set to hme1,
simply say
ndd -set /dev/hme instance 1
- query parameters for the set instance:
ndd -get /dev/hme link_status 0 = link up, 1 = link down
ndd -get /dev/hme link_speed 0 = 10MBit, 1 = 100MBit
ndd -get /dev/hme link_mode 0 = half duplex, 1 = full duplex
ndd -get /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0 = no autonegotiation, 1 = autoneg.
enabled
- set parameters, e.g.
ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 1
to enable autonegotiation for hme0
for a full list of what can be queried and set for /dev/hme, do
ndd /dev/hme \?
