   Original question:
  We have a remote backup server, ULTRA 1, solaris 2.7.
The NIC is running at 10Mbs half duplex.
I would like to run it at 100Mbs Full duplex, but I am not sure if it is capable of this speed, how do find out if it is capable of running at 100Mbs without having to drive 120 miles and open up the box?.

Answers.
   The majority said,
   if the nic is an le - it's only 10mb,
   if it's an hme - it's 10/100.
also
   ndd -get /dev/hme 100fdx_cap
   1 means it can support it, 0 means it can't.

 Many thanks for the speedy replies.
 Apologies if I missed out anyone.

It is an hme dev and reportedly supports 100mbps.

 Alan.
