Whew!

	I (and others) really thought the card was toast.  However, this
thing has now been rebooted three times in a row and I've gotten the
following:

Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.6       Generic August 1997
# ping www.sunmanagers.org
ohno.mrbill.net is alive	(Mr. Bill Rocks!)

Summary:

Okay guys and dolls, Listen up!  The Linksys Etherfast 10/100 hub claims to
be AutoSensing.  Don't believe it, it is EVIL! It is obviously NOT what it
claims, because I had to put the following in /etc/system to make this
machine work:

set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0

-----Original Message-----

		All:

			All right, here's the situation.  As promised
<Snip-->

		During its short life, I've only been able to get it to
successfully ping something else once (of course I can't remember what I did
to make it do that) and that didn't persist past a reboot.  <Snip>
		I've had different error messages during it's short life,
but what I'm consistently getting now is the message "SUNW,hme0: Link Down -
cable problem?" 
		<More Snippage>

Kudos:

	I am forever indebted to:
	Colin Matthews and Karl Devitt

	Honorable Mention to :
	Vinnie German
		David B Harrington
		Roy Rapoport
		Nathan Dietsch
		William Enestvedt
