8 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver—May 1996

• If the external transceiver supports auto-negotiation, the driver uses the
auto-negotiation feature to select the link speed and mode.
• If the external transceiver does not support auto-negotiation, the driver
selects the highest priority mode supported by the transceiver.
You can also manually select the speed and mode of the link. For example,
two transceivers might not support the same mode and speed. Therefore, you
must select the highest mode and speed that both transceivers support using
the ndd utility. See the list of operating speeds and modes in the section,
“Operating Speeds and Modes” on page 6.
