Introduction to the hme Fast
Ethernet Device Driver
1
This book describes how to configure the hme driver for the Sun
Ultra
1
Series systems, the Sun Ultra 2 Series system, the Ultra
Enterprise
3000,
4000, 5000, and 6000 systems, the SunSwift
SBus Adapter, and the
SunFastEthernet
Adapter 2.0. To configure the hme driver you can use the
ndd utility to set the parameters. If you use the ndd utility, the parameter
values are effective until you reboot the system. To keep the values in effect
even after rebooting the system, enter the parameter values into the
/etc/system file or the hme.conf file in the /kernel/drv directory.
Chapter 2 describes the hme device driver and includes topics such as
operating speeds and modes, auto-negotiation, the internal transceiver, and the
external transceiver. Chapter 3 describes the parameters and settings for the
hme device driver. Chapter 4 describes how to set the hme device driver
parameter values using the ndd utility and also in the /etc/system and
hme.conf files.
