Ray,
Thanks for the response. I gave it a try but my restore was no faster.
I noticed that there is a external procedure for setting the NIC.
# Interface name of the network card that will be forced to communicate
# at 100Mbps/Full Duplex
#Interface=hme
# Instance of the network card that will be forced to communicate
# at 100Mbps/Full Duplex
#Instance=0
if [ -a -n "${Interface}" -a -n "${Instance}" ]; then
# Added code to get the interface settings
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_100T4_cap
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_100fdx_cap
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_100hdx_cap
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_10fdx_cap
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_10hdx_cap
ndd /dev/${Interface} adv_autoneg_cap
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} instance ${Instance}
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_100T4_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_100fdx_cap 1
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_100hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_10fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_10hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/${Interface} adv_autoneg_cap 0
fi
So i guess i'm back testing the NIC.
Would someone know how to get a shell?
Do i just type in sh or ksh?
Thanks,
