After reading the tech bulletins being circulated around, I think I'm 
running into "the" V210 bge ethernet interface bug.  So I'm giving the 
five shiny new V210's back to Sun, and I'm going to do this on a spare 
V100 instead.

Thanks to everyone (far too many to individually name, but you know who 
you are :-) who gave up a little time to help me out here.

Hi all,

(Running a shniy new SunFire v210, with "entire software group" Sol 9 
04/03)

Quick question - anyone got a working config for a bge.conf file?  I'm 
trying to get it to talk to a 10Mb, half duplex hub.  I've tried...

Reading 'man 7D bge', which is the usual slightly-obfuscated 
documentation.
Reading docs.sun.com, which has some interesting typoes in the driver 
config pages.
Setting it with the following lines in /etc/system - 

Attempt 1 :-
forceload: dev/bge
set bge:adv_autoneg_cap=0
set bge:adv_1000fdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_1000hdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_100fdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_100hdx_cap=0

Attempt 2 :-
forceload: dev/bge
set bge:instance=0
set bge:adv_autoneg_cap=0
set bge:adv_1000fdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_1000hdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_100fdx_cap=0
set bge:adv_100hdx_cap=0

Attempt 3 :-
forceload: dev/bge
set bge0:adv_autoneg_cap=0
set bge0:adv_1000fdx_cap=0
set bge0:adv_1000hdx_cap=0
set bge0:adv_100fdx_cap=0
set bge0:adv_100hdx_cap=0

Also tried making a bge.conf file.  The following file, located in 
/kernel/drv, /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv (not a symlink, an actual copy)...

name = "SUNW,bge" parent = "/pci@1f,700000" unit-address = "2,0" 
adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=0 adv_1000hdx_cap=0 adv_100fdx_cap=0 
adv_100hdx_cap=0;

...variations "2" and "2,0" for the unit-address.  with the following 
"bge" lines from /etc/path_to_inst...

"/pci@1f,700000/network@2" 0 "bge"
"/pci@1f,700000/network@2,1" 1 "bge"
"/pci@1d,700000/network@2" 2 "bge"
"/pci@1d,700000/network@2,1" 3 "bge"

At wits end.  Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Nathan
