i'm 99% certain that be is 100Mb half duplex only.
sun don't support it in solaris 7 at all.

in fact, i've got one in a ss1000 running solaris 2.6, and i can't
even get the card to run at 100Mb when attached to a 100Mb switch,
no matter how i configure the switch ports. the same switch (3com 3900)
has no problem with the hme interfaces on all our ultra class
machines. i was going to pull the card from that machine and put it
in an ss10 i want to put netbsd on, because i figured netbsd might
have a better chance of supporting it, or at least help in the
porting/testing of the netbsd driver.

(hme support would be much more useful ;-)
