    Hallo ,

    I have the same problem with a Sun Bigmac ethernet adapter in a sun sparc20.
    it is a 10/100 mbit adapter, but it allways connects to the switch only with
    100mbit/halfduplex... Also the syslog is full with messages like this:

    Feb 7 03:04:31 sun-firewall kernel: eth1: Link down, cable problem?

    but the interface works nice....

    any hints/ideas? :-)
    thanks
    Thomas
