    Mr. Dicks:

            Ah, that is the problem, I didn't read the FAQ! Silly me, I read
    the Field Engineering manual from Sun, where it refers to the HME as the
    Hundred Megabit Ethernet.

    Very Respectfully,

    Look in one of the Sun FAQs - "hme" does not stand for "Hundred Megabit
    Ethernet" - it does stand for "Happy Meal Ethernet". "le0" stands
    for "Lance Ethernet". "ie0" (386i, IIRC) stands for "Intel Ethernet".
    Sun
    names the interfaces after the chipset and the chipset in your machine
    is the Happy Meal chipset.

    Really.
