bge only coming up in half duplex

807559Mar 23 2007 — edited Mar 27 2007

Hello, I have a SunBlade 1500 running 5.9 whose NIC will only come up in 100HD, even though I'm assured the switch port is hardcoded to 100FD:

root@system ->kstat bge:0|grep duplex
duplex half
link_duplex 1
link_duplex 1
root@system ->

I see in /var/adm/messages:
Mar 21 15:59:53 system bge: [ID 801725 kern.info] NOTICE: bge0: link up 100Mbps Half-Duplex (initialized)

I see a huge amount of collisions, but no errors. I replaced the cable with no luck. Any suggestions how I can hard-code this to 100FD? The card states its link partner is HD:

root@system ->kstat bge:0|grep 100

Any ideas??? How does Solaris determine its HD/FD status?
